Framed Stuff Part 2
Just framed up a bunch of stuff...
First, cheap $15 frame from Target and an $8 piece of glass from Hobby Lobby...
also done with the same $15 frame and $8 piece of glass:
The next three were done with American Frame, UV reducing non glare, double acid free mat...(kinda dusty)

I was pretty stoked that a friend was able to get it for me for $100 at last year's TRPS. Finally getting all that crap framed. Only have the EODM left to do..hillsj2001 wrote:that built to spill atlanta is my favorite print by emek

Hey man, all of them look AMAZING!! BTW, I am thinking about trying American Frame out for the first time soon. How happy were you with them? Also, was the putting the frames together process pretty simple?

They do a sloppy job cutting mats when I order. I'm not ordering from them anymore unless I'm only using one mat (because they can't get the offset right, or even) and the print will work with the outside 1/4-inch covered (in case they cut the hole too big again).mcnail wrote:AmericanFrame is always amazing.

My camera sucks, seriously
I couldn't get the mat colours to show up
3 mats black -> grey -> pink
looks pretty nice in person, the pink is a good match to the birds

I've always had good luck with AmericanFrame.mistersmith wrote:They do a sloppy job cutting mats when I order.

hawks...awesome! i think i may do something similar with some of my handbills.
people, also try framesbymail.com...especially on oversized pieces/mats/etc.
back to hawks...are you feeling alright? because that dust looks thick under those handbills...to the point of getting sick! i know there are a ton of men/boys on ebeans, and we aren't the world's greatest dusters/cleaners, but damn!
bottom line: great job on the frames!

Haha, in all honesty, I am friggin OCD when it comes to cleanliness...I clean my place atleast twice a week, just can't keep up with the drymounting dust (I leave my windows open all day...maybe that has something to do with it)djpubbs wrote:hawks...awesome! i think i may do something similar with some of my handbills.

hey hawks10...what frame did you use on the emek handbills?...8411 maybe?...that's what i've used in the past and went to order a few more yesterday and couldn't find it on AF...i thought maybe they discontinued it
Here are some more Tool Handbills I just framed...once again using American Frame, UV reducing non glare, acid free mats...I cut the mats myself on these two and it was my first effort at it...not perfect but pretty good IMO considering it was my first attempt:
Group shot with some of the other handbills I posted about earlier...Kraft version on the right side still needs to be matted:
Enjoy!

Went by the shop yesterday on my day off and cut down some old frames I had lying around the apartment. Here's what I used 'em for:
