Framing a Book, by corisma on Feb 12, 2009 20:23:31 GMT 1, Has anybody attempted this or have any advice ?
seems it's a bit trickier than i first thought as a book is slightly too thick to fit in most custom frames
would i need a custom built type box frame ?
a mount also seems a bit of a problem

Framing a Book, by charlie on Feb 12, 2009 20:54:19 GMT 1, got the three banksy books (banging your head/existencilism/cut it out) framed a while back.
It was done by Fletchers in Barbican (http://www.fletcherframes.co.uk/4693.html)
They have a special clear band that holds the book in place (you don't see the band as it wraps inside the book). This was all framed in a standard frame with a 1cm fillet to increase the depth of the frame.
hope this helps,
charlie

Framing a Book, by corisma on Feb 12, 2009 21:41:01 GMT 1, Hi Charlie
Thanks for the advice
I'm miles from London though so could be a bit of a problem
All framed seperate & mounted i presume ?
The band sounds a useful tool
I'm not too sure how big the Banksy books are tbh i only own Wall & Piece
The book i want to frame is around 9" x 11" and 1cm thick
Cheers buddy
