Deckled Edges - On Show Or Not, by Cocteau 101 on Jul 8, 2007 12:19:06 GMT 1, Whats the view on deckled edges - on show or not?
I have received a couple of prints were the deckled edges are not fantastic and am going to cover with a mount.
Is this unwise or breaking any print rules for storage, framing etc.
I just think that the finished look will be much neater.
Advice sought and appreciated.
Silky, if you think this should be in the picture framing thread please move across.
Cheers

Plus, saves on re-framing costs when they are out of fashion

Deckled Edges - On Show Or Not, by corblimeylimey on Jul 8, 2007 12:29:11 GMT 1, My framer is always saying that it would be nice to show off the deckled edging so I should float mount, but I've always ended up going with a mount.

Deckled Edges - On Show Or Not, by bobbyt23 on Jul 8, 2007 12:39:13 GMT 1, For me personally I dont like deckled edges. On the right image they can add to the effect but I think it seems to be used quite a lot now.

Deckled Edges - On Show Or Not, by discoduster on Jul 8, 2007 12:43:14 GMT 1, Also from what I've seen it has to be a real nice pukka job by the framer.
Seen one where the print wasn't completely flat and I think that would bother me every time I walked past it.

Deckled Edges - On Show Or Not, by a4mnt on Jul 8, 2007 12:59:10 GMT 1, Love 'em.
I've got no idea about what is fashionable with framing - only know what I like and you should do the same - go with what you like the look of.
Not sure how easy it is to completely pin and flatten a float mounted pic? The box mounted Parla's at last weeks show were not flat to the mount, and they were £3000+ gallery pieces.
is it possible to completely flatten the edges when floating? I'm interested. I like the edges being slightly raised from the mount.
My JD with float mount and matching wooden slip

I do like this wooden slip you've used. Really suits this image too.

Deckled Edges - On Show Or Not, by Harveyn on Jul 8, 2007 13:36:55 GMT 1, Hi - The good thing about float mounting prints is that you can be safe in the thought that any effect by UV Light (and there will always be some as most damage is by non visible between 300 and 400 nm) will be uniform. On the other hand if you never intend moving it from behind a mount then this is not a problem.
