Frame Spacers, by Happy Shopper on Nov 19, 2018 11:40:58 GMT 1, I used red spacers on framing my Bast "The Nose". The print is just 1 colour, red, and I think it worked quite nicely and still looked very simple... But I've not done it on anything else!

most of my framing is very plain but i bought a framed Pins clockwork britain that had coloured spacers and liked it so i had another print framed in same manner as they hang next to each other.

If the artist wanted a large coloured border around their image, they would of included it right?
If someone does want a bit of colour to make the framing stand out and to highlight a part of a picture, then coloured spacers can certainly work quite well as this isn't on the front face of picture.
Here's a couple of examples where we used hand painted spacers to pick out a colour in a print, which I think worked quite nicely...

see this is the type of thing I would be aiming for. I think that they look great. Not in your face whatsoever.

appreciate framing should suit who is getting it framed bit the OP did ask for some picture examples as well as opinions. Mibbe some pics would help him decide.

thats like me. All my pictures are either in white or black frames floated. Just feel like mixing it up a bit. Iโve got a good bit of time before they go in but I think Iโve made my mind up. And the I think it should work with the two prints that are getting framed.
