Banksy Welcome Mat, by Pipes on Mar 1, 2020 20:33:07 GMT 1, I think Perspex box on the floor or maybe on the wall is the way to go with these. Is anyone going to replicate the gdp one, with a used life jacket attached? Iโm consider cutting a shallow recessed section in the vestibule floor of a house Iโm renovating to drop the mat into, which will then be covered with a sheet of tempered glass. Last night I did think of hanging a life jacket on the wall next to it with trailing fabric running down the wall and across the floor to join up with the mat. Sobered up this morning and realised it would look shรฏt. Later on today, I sobered up even more and remembered I donโt actually have a mat. Do you even have a house you are renovating?

I donโt have a mat, but just in case I thought about its โframingโ and thought about something similar to what you say. Inside the house, not outside, cutting the wood to put the mat and close it with glass. But two important things: - Even though tempered is difficult to break, I would use a laminated+tempered. Expensive, but itโs a banksy - Problem: glass is highly slippery. Not even Banksy deserves breaking the neck ๐

Banksy Welcome Mat, by withnail69 on Mar 2, 2020 12:34:03 GMT 1, i was thinking about ordering one of those perspex boxes but can't find the link anymore. This thread is a nightmare to read back Been to the framer today, he advised against perspex as it would get statically loaded and would possible look bad after a few months (i.e. has to be cleaned a lot). We spoke about framing it and if we should put a glass in front or not. We decided against glass but were not finished as I need to speak to the guy who is framing it as he doesnt know how he would mount the mat onto a board. So I have to go again on Wednesday Frame wise we have picked out a black frame with white / off white back (possibly wooden plate). Frame is also available a bit broader of course, but I think I'll choose the thinnest one (see picture) and maybe leave some space that the black comes out. Will give an update after I spoke to the chief framer on how to execute the whole thing. Framer advises against perspex box and gets you to use his framing services instead hmmmm.. My perspex box should arrive this week. I'll upload some pics when its mounted

For the first lot it was taken at time of purchase. Well, about a week or so after, once the purchase was confirmed.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by moron on Mar 2, 2020 17:59:24 GMT 1, I wouldn't under estimate the skills the women have who are working with Love Welcomes Supporting all women to be independant and against being oppressed why whoever and whatever is always good. I could not find any info that states that Love Welcomes is a charity. They describe themselves as a "social enterprise", whatever that is? There is no info about how the money is actually being spent and how much the women who are making the products are paid. I'm hoping they get the minimum wage apart from being helped to move forward with their lives. From the Love Welcomes, instagram, I find this statement a bit odd. "in creating this new Welcome M, Banksy has helped refugees to find dignity and self worth, dignity and hope" fundraising.co.uk/2019/10/03/banksy-shop-partners-social-enterprise-love-welcomes-croydon-shop-venture/ No one is denying these people dignity and the statement comes across as mysoginist that it takes some bloke to give these women dignity. Said this a few times on this thread... LW isn't strictly a charity. It's a company which pays its people, as a social enterprise. Charities aren't set up to pay lots out in salaries, their books are scrutinised openly but some charity bosses are on 6 figure sums. Social Enterprises operate with less transparency, we can only trust that LW gives as much as possible to people in need and keep its staff salaries to a minimum. There is a lot of people writing on this thread that the mats are for a charity which is false and also the word charity and refugee is used deliberateley by some to guilt trip others. It's misleading. If the cause is worthy then to me it doesn't matter if the people behind it are a registered charity or not. Love Welcomes is a good cause and helping the women direct.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by moron on Mar 2, 2020 18:02:01 GMT 1, Why do those two ebay listings have exact identical lettering on the mats and why is the lettering perfectly symetrical. The Love Welcome mats lettering is all over the place and no two are the same because they are hand made.
It won't be long before fakes are being sold on ebay etc if not allready. Buyer beware

Buyer beware These are stock photos, because they don't have them in hand yet, and most likely from round 2. So anyone bidding won't actually know or receive this item for 5 months most likely.
I think it would be hard to fake these... between multiple receipts, label, number, box, wrapping, ect. Of course some may toss those which will make them harder to identify over time. I do imagine that these being an official GDP product may be some way recorded for future verification. Not sure what the numbering system would be for outside of that.

These mats are so easy to fake physically too.
