here are a couple jobs that we were working on. they are done now and the customers have already taken them home!
**this one...oofdah! it was hard! 10 photos. almost all of them were of a different size. the bottom row of 5 photos was the hardest...each was a different height and width...and trying to make them all even was a real challenge! for this mat, i had to draw everything out on the back and then cut it with the mat cutter...without any stops!! a little challenging! but i got it on my first try!! the finished product looked very nice...black leather frame and black mat...but i don't want to post it because they are photos of people...and i don't have the customer's permission to post it online!
oh, yes, this one! this project just about sent brandon and i over the edge!! it looks fairly easy...only three openings for a vintage essay...but then in the bottom right corner, is the penny! a 3 inch in diameter penny! we have a circle cutter, but it's very temperamental and does not work very well. well, brandon wanted to tackle cutting a circle in the black mat, the black foam core and the back, black mat...all to match up perfectly and hold the penny in place!! after many tries with different sizes of circles (and i'm sure a few words spoken to the circle cutter!!) he got it!! the three circles were perfect!!
so together the frame went...
oh, yes, and on the back side of the frame...they wanted to be able to see the penny as well!! the back of the frame doesn't look so very nice, but that is what the customer wanted!! just a piece of plexi on the back side...
and i have to leave again really soon to go back to the shoppe and start working on a few more frames! the truck came on tuesday and delivered 5 more frames...so i have to...excuse me..."get-to" go put more projects together!!
