There is no dust problem when doing this method. The gold frames never suited my contemporary landscapes, but since I have several, they will be put onto gifts, or the occasional realist work that I do.<BR/><BR/>I also use frame tec spacers to space the pastel work 1/4" or so from the glass (this one might be 3/16ths. - can't remember. <BR/><BR/>Then, I also use a frame tec product called rabbet space that allows the deep sandwich of backing, paper, spacers and glass to be put in a shallow frame.Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-36856656792106880692009-01-25T07:49:00.000-08:002009-01-25T07:49:00.000-08:00Nice vibrant color Casey, and a wonderful gift for...Nice vibrant color Casey, and a wonderful gift for your daughter.

I look to your still lifes (my spelling for the plural of the art genre) as an example of "how to" do them right.<BR/><BR/>I prefer my DT Terrages and Sennies and my homemade pastels for big pastels, but I do get lots of use from these Unis, too.Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-25519397007272242182009-01-23T16:06:00.000-08:002009-01-23T16:06:00.000-08:00Lovely painting!
