sagworks :: 2008 Art Everyday

I am so happy with how this frame job turned out. I did all the measurements and had the mat marked up ready for cutting last night. I got into the studio tonight and realized the frame was 2″ bigger than a size requirement for a show I am hoping to hang sunflower in. I reworked it all and actually cut a really good mat (practice does make perfect). Though once I started to place everything it turns out the piece is thicker than the mat. I tried adding another layer of mat board - but the piece is thicker than 2 pieces of matboard - so I had to use foamcore. I like the final look a lot!

This piece is going to hang at Montpelier Mansion in Laurel, MD May 3 - May 29. The Montpelier Festival of Herbs, Tea and the Arts is going to be held this weekend and as part of that there will be an opening reception for the show 2-4pm.
