Banksy Welcome Mat, by Fuzzyduck121 on Feb 19, 2020 12:51:42 GMT 1, These mats are great in many ways, and lovewelcomes seems to be an excellent charity, but I did assume that there would be something to them, or with them, that made them "worth" the same amount that GDP was charging for signed, limited pieces of art. ยฃ500 is a lot for an unusable mat with a backstory.
One was priced to make the most amount as possible for charity One was priced to make the lucky winners feel fortunate Neither price was related to value Thatโs the beauty of this shop

Could the mats be stitched to a backing without damaging them I wonder? Either direct to perspex with a lot of small holes drilled or else to a board.

Still don't have a clue how to mount this thing so I'm looking forward to see the first examples. My best guess so far is to nail my vacuum cleaner to the wall which'll hold the mat in position.

good job his full name and address is very obvious to see

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Gentle Mental on Feb 19, 2020 13:55:59 GMT 1, Was thinking a very snug fit acrylic box. With a soft rough towel backing. Or scrunched up acid free paper. And yes the front will touch the acrylic.
Really depends on how heavy it is. How heavy is it?

Banksy Welcome Mat, by wentos on Feb 19, 2020 14:05:09 GMT 1, Just taken delivery of mine and very happy indeed, they are a great piece and just trying to decide how to display it now!
In regards to the label and numbering, mine is numbered in the low 200โs so I would suggest they will be from 1-500 rather than invoice number...if that makes sense!

Were you actually crying when you wrote this? quick everyone tell his mum! Tell PC , we must snitch..
Hereโs my guess.. James gives zero fucks what you think or he would have hidden his name.
Heโs making a quick buck, maybe his kid needs an operation and this is the only way they can afford it? Who are you to judge?
This Mat was available for ages on the site, anyone who was paying attention could have got..

Rough estimates on size.
I was thinking perspex UV Box lay flat on the floor, but I'm more than happy to look at the wonderful ideas more creative people have.
