Honestly, what is the motivation behind these posts? Are you getting affiliate money from eBay? I would literally prefer it if that was the case, as it would make sense to me.

Anyone who clicks the link then buys something (related to the link or not) within a set time will earn Silky a commission. It’s just a way of getting funds to keep the site ticking along.

What are you planning to use to hang? They certainly do have some weight behind them!! I have to hang mine directly into drywall and used two 50lb rated wall hooks to try and distribute the weight.

No idea yet!!! Hanging onto solid brick wall though, so should be pretty stable....
Framer suggested plugs and screws for this one.
Any other suggestions greatly appreciated!!!!

Banksy Welcome Mat, by mrizzle on Dec 22, 2020 13:47:34 GMT 1, I am conscious that I started this thread and have never uploaded mine to it as an example. As I said when I posted it elsewhere, I think it might divide opinion somewhat. I’ll try to rationalise/justify my choice.
Firstly, I was going to go all grey but my wife disagreed. I still think that looks spot on but, as I’ve spent much of this year going utterly rogue and buying and hanging art without consultation, I felt that I better get her approval on this one, especially as it’s hanging in such a prominent area of the house. My initial second choice was a sort of brushed bronze frame that I’ve used previously with a grey backing. However when Gary went to order it he discovered it discontinued. He suggested the one we plumped for or a wooden one. We already have a console table in that particular hallway opposite where it now hangs and the mismatching woods put us both off slightly. The one “we” finally went with is a champagne sort of colour. To my eye it works quite well and looks slightly different depending on the light. I went with a grey backing and non-reflective UV 70 glass. I opted not to go full museum glass because of where it’s hanging and, ultimately, if the life jackets have been lying on a beach then I felt some light on it ultimately doesn’t matter so much.
Secondly, the other part which I think will split opinion is I went “tag out”. I know how many feel about this and I understand that train of thought entirely. I don’t think you’re wrong either! However, I feel that it gives the piece some context and felt that it might also help provoke discussion when people see it...if others are ever allowed in our house again that is!! I feel that Gary did a wonderful job of balancing it in the frame through the placement of the tail of the ‘e’ which prevents it looking unbalanced in the frame. Anyway...enough rambling (and trying to justify), here’s mine.

Incredibly kind of you to say and very much appreciated charliec2701. Truly, thank you for that. I was slightly fearful of how it might be received and I’m relieved to have had some positive responses. Have a great Tuesday!

While not intended when I think of these as artifacts and not art, relics so to speak, and are framed as such they look good. It feels something more akin to what would be in an oddities collection and I will frame in this spirit.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by mrizzle on Jan 4, 2021 1:04:04 GMT 1, Actually I was wrong. The only one recessed in the floor isn’t “framed” as such. I really like the idea but, being utterly woeful at DIY, not something I’d want to attempt and I would imagine it would be expensive to get someone to do?
Here’s the example I was thinking of. As I say though, not what you are suggesting really and, in my humble opinion, it’s not very well executed in this example. Needs to be much cleaner for it to work.

Interesting.
Yeah I’m thinking a recessed box flush with the natural flooring and then covered with plexi or something clear.
