Framing PEZ Alter Ego, by joelm on Nov 14, 2017 16:06:19 GMT 1, Hi all,
As a framing virgin I was wondering if I could get a bit of advice. I was recently lucky enough to pick up a PEZ Alter Ego. I've been looking around and am tempted to use www.easyframe.co.uk/ as they seem reasonable. The issue I have is that I've got no idea how to spec it. Should I be buying the conservation barrier board, UV plexi? And what about securing the picture inside the frame?

If the piece is a standard size, such as with Faireyโs pieces, itโs easy but anything other I too would love to hear suggestions and experiences.

I think the best way to learn is to just read some of the threads on here and then go out and get a few quotes from some of your local framers. Often times, framers will try to work within your budget. You're going to make costly mistakes, but I think that's part of doing this thing. It's been my experience that online is rarely good quality and I always get a good feeling knowing that I'm supporting a local business.

Framing PEZ Alter Ego, by chevyav53 on Dec 9, 2017 1:12:50 GMT 1, Hereโs how I went, incl museum glass. Love it, thanks to my framer and Graffiti Prints for this amazing piece. Extatic to have this in my collection. Getting dark here so a straight on hits the light for photo as in center of this room.
