CHARMING BAKER 'NELLYPHANT', by yorkie on Jan 19, 2017 18:26:18 GMT 1, So, I called the gallery and guess what.... I am now the proud owner of one of the wood prints! My mate got his call this morning on the paper one so he's happy. When I spoke with the gallery they had 2 left of the paper ones (and were working down a list) and the wood had all sold! Will frame exactly as per NightHawks picture..... actually looking forward to getting it now! Yorkie Congratulations. Chuffed for you. Actually Coach so am i!
When i looked at the original photos they did not do it for me but the framed version looks so good - I don't even have to debate how to frame it - I'm doing the exact same (well unless my framer comes up with something that is truly spectacular)....
I'm struggling to work out where to hang it but I will figure it out!

CHARMING BAKER 'NELLYPHANT', by yorkie on Jan 19, 2017 18:27:17 GMT 1, Also - proves that nothing ventured and all that....
I honestly didn't expect to have any joy given how late to the party I was - obviously right place and right time - which is unusual for me!

CHARMING BAKER 'NELLYPHANT', by yorkie on Jan 19, 2017 18:49:12 GMT 1, Yorkie-Your friend seemed to be. Regardless congratulations and hope you enjoy it. That is true!
I do find it odd that his son (who is 13 now) will accept the nellyphant when they pushed him to buy and frame Hayley!
Don't know how that is going to go down.... And I'm not a big fan of Mr Brainwash but I have to hold my hand up and say the print looks good framed and on the wall.... I did try to remember how much the print was so I could offer a stupid amount including framing!
He got confirmation that the prints with COA are being signed this weekend and will be sent early next week. I guess they will do the same with the wood but I am still waiting on the cost to ship.

Congratulations. That frame job does look quite nice. I'm curious how one flout mounts an art piece on wood like that. Would love to know how it's hinged, etc.

CHARMING BAKER 'NELLYPHANT', by yorkie on Jan 24, 2017 17:32:31 GMT 1, I spoke with the gallery yesterday and they are sending the prints out by the end of this week. I have to say it was a pleasure talking with them - they are shipping mine to North America for 40 pounds insured and packed so that price was a real positive to me.
Also asked how they managed to frame it as they did.... the lady said she would send me some pictures and details of how they did the framing.... when i get them i will post here.
Looking forward to getting this and to framing it!

CHARMING BAKER 'NELLYPHANT', by corinthia on Jan 24, 2017 19:09:21 GMT 1, I am having them frame it for me and sent to the states. I may do Optium acrylic. It's more expensive than glass but safer to ship and I find it's less expensive in the U.K. for the acrylic than what I can get here. Also since the print is unique on plywood I figured why not let them do it.

Never thought of asking them to do it but honestly even now I don't feel comfortable doing it until I get the print in my hand then I can check it and work with my 'known' framer.... perhaps its the OCD inside me but I need to be in control of this stuff!
Im positive they will do a great job and if its like the picture and the one they had at the show then you will not be disappointed...... If you wouldnt mind saying - how much are they asking to do the framing as that may have a big impact on my decision!
Thanks for this Corinthia.

Not sure who their framer is, and they maybe harvest several options available to clients, but I would certainly ask for eh specificics of who / how
I bought a Warchild HF at Moniker (i think) 2 years ago. The frame was crap. No damage to the print at all, as it was simply attached to a mount with Japanese paper hinges.
However the woodwork was very basic and probably not custom made (rather assembled from standard bits). The backboard was crap wood simply attached with the little metal hinges you get at Habitat. The mount was a bit smaller than the frame so moved slightly in it.
Not dissing Jealous as I bought a print that happened to be framed rather than have them frame it for me.
But maybe worth checking...

CHARMING BAKER 'NELLYPHANT', by corinthia on Jan 24, 2017 22:22:43 GMT 1, Jealous as I understand does their own framing. I have discussed materials that would be used and will confirm before committing. I actually bought another peice from a different gallery that Jealous will be framing for me as well. The other gallery uses them for printing and framing.
