Earlier picture frame or the latest picture frame- Which one is better?

 

Photos are the collection of all our memories. With the camera, we like to capture our best moments and make them memorable. But have you ever thought about the protection of all your memories? This may seem quite odd that how can we protect our memories. The best protection of all our memories can be done with the use of a picture frame. The frame not only acts as a support to the image, but it also gives an elegant look and the best protection to the texture of the image.

Old age picture frame


Previously the photo framing which was used was heavier than the modern frames. There was not so much concern on the design of the frames. They were used to provide only support so that you can hang the photos on the wall. Wooden frames were used in the old times, and a glass mounting was done on them. Thus the output result is a heavy substance with a high risk of damage.


Advent of new materials in photo frames


The picture frame which was used in the old times had glass covering mounted on the frame. The glass has characteristics of sticking to the texture of the images. When the glass sticks on the texture of the images, the color of the images gets blurred, and the photo gets ruined. This is the reason for which new techniques emerged in the field of photo frames and canvas framing. Better materials like matboards, light glasses, metals and canvas framing helped us to make our memories more elegant and beautiful.


Technology plays a part in framing industry


New age photo framing focuses on the use of lighter materials. They are also designed to give the picture framing a better and great look. The latest picture framing provide a proper gapping with the photo so that the moisture do not adhere with the texture of the photograph and make the picture. In short, you can say that the images have got a real breathing space. Digital frames and custom framing have got some technology in them which can offer better lighting effect to the frames and you can also choose some custom framing with date and clock facility in them.

The world of Jane Waterhouse

Jane Waterous prints has a vastly established sense of restraint using just enough imagery to evoke the sense of the found object with which she has chosen to work. Jane Waterous art touches upon the thought of objects with which we engage on daily basis but do not pay much attention to or those which we might keep by us as mementos or keepsakes.

JaneWaterous arts collect and record the natural and man-made objects using blind embossing techniques. This method helps in capturing the properties of the object which are too subtle to capture in a photograph. There are simple mono prints printed from the back of a copper plate whilst shadowy remnants from the Wayfaring series resurface beneath the new images for the Quiet Archive.

Jane Waterous is also touched by the tokens and keepsakes kept at the Foundling Museum in London. These are the objects that mothers have left with their babies in order to identify them in the hopes that the children might be returned to them in a better future. These tokens are drawn with a silverpoint on paper printed with soft Gamelin ink. The silver traces intensify with age.

Jane Waterous photographs of Speedwell blues and the intense greens of springtime coupled with the constant turning up of pipe bowls, rusty things and ever warring plastic soldiers from the vegetable and flower gardens are equally mesmerizing.

Jane Waterous also works regularly with the ‘irregularcircle’, which is a workshops run by three artist in the Cambridge area, which helps adults and children to explore their creativity side using drawing, mixed media and three dimensional art workshops.

Few tips and tricks that you can employ to make framing easier and attractive

Here are few Tips and Tricks that you can employ to make framing easier and attractive

Measure Twice and Cut Once

Always measure your artwork, mat, matting board and its borders meticulously. Measure it yourself and get it measured by someone else to be double sure. Make sure the numbers match and if not then work through any discrepancies to get the framing right.

Ensure Mat offset

To ensure that Mat border is not peeping from the sides of the picture make sure that you cut the Mat a little smaller then the artwork itself. To ensure mat fits properly use 1/4" - 1/8" on each side for a mat offset.

Use cellulose or tape when drilling hole for hanging picture

By using a piece of tape on wall at the place where nail will be placed can prevent chipping of your wall . So when you decide to remove your picture from that place in future the hole would be easier to fill.

Use sheet on the counter

While assembling the frame, put a sheet on the table you are doing your assembling. This will prevent your furniture and frame from being damaged.

Find the center of frame

It is always a good practice to mark the center of frame with a pencil before hanging it. This will help a lot in hanging the frame perfectly.

Order Mat Samples

It is best to order mat sample and check it in contrast to your picture. This extra step will ensure that no mistakes are made in choosing the mat color. Normally companies send mat orders for free or for a very nominal charge. This extra step will make sure that your picture perfectly matches with the mat color that you plan to use.

Use a good quality hanging tape

When mounting your precious artwork always ensure that you use good quality hanging tape. A low quality tape will sap and will lose its adhesiveness over time. Filmoplast is one of the good brand that can be used for such purpose. This tape is acid free and is easier to tear and paste. This is important because in a scenario when the artwork is pulled out of the frame the tape will tear first then the artwork. 

Always use good quality cloth and sprays to clean glazing

It is very important to use a high quality cleaning agent to wipe of dirt from glass along with a good quality cloth which does not leave scratch on your glass. To clean the frame glass, highly recommended is dish washing liquid with warm water. This works like a charm and is safe to use.

Always hang artwork from Top

It is always recommended to hang the frame from top only and leave it freely hanging at the bottom with gravity pulling it down. This prevents buckling of the frame in future.
