This would look smart make it the front of a small plexi box.

Needs a back board. Then could look great.

Exactly. I can see a brown/camel color leather type of matting/board looking real good.
For those of you framing, how are you mounting them?

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Fะฏ on Feb 28, 2020 20:46:51 GMT 1, Why does everyone try the gold tacky frame on banksy stuff
It only works in his installations, not in your front room. People tried and failed this method 14 years ago

Banksy Welcome Mat, by kuni on Feb 28, 2020 20:55:37 GMT 1, right? I mean the guy literally attached a handle to a brick and called it a purse and itโs going to trade for $100K+ on the secondary market with people lined up around the block ready to cut a check. If that isnโt taking the piss (as you brits like to say) then I donโt know what is. I bet you wish you thought of it first, right?
Hell yeah I do. I love that piece, but Banksy is one of the few that could pull it off. Itโs not just the object itself, but the fact that itโs going to sell for $100k+. The โvalueโ associated with it is part of the statement.

My ideal framing, is that glass sandwich that becomes sealed (with French tape) and placed into its wooden housing. But that alone is highly unsafe and has no fixings on the back. I told myself that I'll find a way to do it someday. But it's not something you ever see for obvious reasons.

I must admit, I only have one piece is a gold ornate frame. A Jamie Reid God Save the Queen. I thought it being derived from a portrait of the queen the framing would work. And I think it does.

Basically with a backboard it could look could, but in my point of view this particular frame seems to be a bit narrow. I'd like to have more space around the surrounding straps.
I think I'll try a simple wooden frame with white backboard, or all white, but I still have no clue how to get this mounted to a board. Any help from those who framed it already would be appreciated.

At least heโs doing something. And something pretty special in my opinion. - so much said about door mats - am I the only one that is being driven nuts by it all? Probably, being a new member. Absorb and learn.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Rubberneck on Feb 29, 2020 1:44:06 GMT 1, The goal to me seems to be awareness and a sustainable business, not a single cash windfall. My understanding is that this is not a charity but a social enterprise, one of the purposes of which is to provide a sense of dignity through work and wage to the refugees who crafted the mats. What good would a couple of decent canvases do for that? So, wouldnโt setting up a proper small factory, employing those people, and selling in large numbers have the biggest impact in helping? Imagine hundreds given well paid employment, producing GDP products that are made, sold and sent all within a few days. Then they would need to have the legal right to work in Greece which they donโt because they are refugees living in temporary camps in squalid conditions.

I wouldn't worry about the numbers. The product, the conception, the idea is the great thing about this
