Mat

Pretty soon, I must slip into the basement and start mating the originals.  I've got a series of gold frames from Dad's attic clean-out - so I think I'll be framing a buncha stuff.  My count is currently 11, and there's some pieces already mated.

I like the mating process, but there are times I want to go all out - double mats, embellishments or even elements painted on the mats.  But then I pull back.  A lot of times the mats get changed when they get up on the final walls.  So, a lot of time - it's a simple black mat to set the elements off.
With framing - I like to do a bit more.

Now that I'm thinking about it - maybe I'll see about a pretty illustrated piece with illustrated mat.   OOOOooo.  Yeah.  I'll get on it.
