Why frame?
Almost anything can be framed:-
- Photographs
- Prints/Limited edition prints
- Oil Paintings
- Needlework
- Football or Golf Shirts
There are three reasons why you may want to frame an image or an object.
Support for ease of viewing - framing acts as a support system for optimum viewing of atrwork/ It keeps the artwork flat and permits it to be easily placed upright on a wall or other support at a suitable viewing height.
Protection - artwork needs to be protected from dust and environmental factors such as light, moisture and contact with poor-quality paper products that have high-acid content.
Artistic - the third reason for framing is the esthetic value framing can add to your artwork. Framing can draw the eye to the artwork, emphasizing colors, and even increasing the apparent size of the image
