DIY framing, by knox on Oct 12, 2008 19:59:45 GMT 1, Apologies if there are other threads with info but I didn't spot one after a quick check.
I'm wondering if anybody frames their prints themselves rather than go to the professionals? I was in Pure Evil the other day and he told me about the place he buys his frames from on Hackney Road. I went down there and got some amazing frames for ยฃ10 each, sprayed them up and they look fantastic. Now for the hard part. Any tips for ensuring I don't make a total botch job? I know I need acid free tape... but that's about it.

If the Art is really cheap by all means get stuck in and have a go

Plus it would be a fantastic skill to have and potentially a nice litle side line if you needed it. Like George says though i wouldn't start trying to frame anythig of value just yet. Good luck

Where does PE get his frames from?
