Show everyone your latest Art Purchase?, by Octopus UK on Mar 10, 2007 12:25:02 GMT 1, Hello, I've been impressed by many of the examples of framing shown in this thread and would like to offer my recent attempt. The first are the two trains by Eine. I liked some of the double mount framing examples given in this thread and asked for the same on my prints. I chose a plumb colour which is present (in a subtle way) in both prints. But I'm not sure it worked. The size of these prints is impressive, but this isn't communicated in the photograph.



The other photo's are some stamps from Brian Jones. I think I like stamp art - takes me back to my stamp collecting days as a child. The frames were very good value - £3.80 from a local hardware store. They have a mount which was just about teh right size and are deep.





Here are better images of these stamps.

PS Sorry that the images are poor, I tried to minimise the impact of the flash and reflections so had to compromise the angle. Also the Eines are more florescent "in person".
