Olly Moss gets his own thread

[tlaz]

I recently gave my brother Olly's Unpopular Franchise Character and he upgraded it with archival materials and museum glass. He works for an art installer and they have framing materials and equipment at their shop. Most of these were cut from black paper which is super susceptible to UV fading it is important to get them under museum glass before displaying.

When he took the piece apart it looked like the backing was haphazardly cut. It is kind of strange because the doily looked like it was custom laser cut, which I am sure took a lot of time. The frame that was used was not the best and there were tiny glass shards all over the paper. Also the whole thing was still sticky from the spray adhesive used to mount the pieces together.

After cleaning it up a bit and removing all the glass he installed spacers, acid-free backing and anti-glare museum glass. The difference is immediately noticeable. With the spacers and high quality glass the layers really pop.

Just curious is the white paper laser cut with jar jar or is the black paper laser cut and then glued on the white paper? Can't tell from the pics. Always wondered the intricacies of the paper cuts.

The background, doily and jar jar are all separate pieces glued on top of eachother.

You can't polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter?
