That's all ok if the hanging wire is all the same length

I went for the white hobbycraft 15cm x 15cm box frames. I bought 2 sets as gifts for friends but I will say that the frames themselves are not to my taste and had a ridge on them so they're not flush box frames but they do the job for £12 for a set of 4 and then the person who gets them can make a call and frame how they wanna! Personally I quite like them mounted on the black like P4ryd has done!

Bet there's a few trial and error nail holes behind those

That's an OCD nightmare right there, measuring all those gaps and alignment of all the sides....

These look great. Probably bargain of the year, GF friendly, easy to obtain (still available), but bstards to hang. Mine are nowhere as neat as yours. I tip my hat to your sir!

Ha cheers everyone. Appreciated.

It was actually fairly simple. Each frames hanging point is fixed at the same point (no wire) and using a little sketch on paper beforehand I managed to get it right first time with no double or treble nail holes 👍🏼

For anyone interested the frames were a bargain at £8 each:

Bravo, very good

I keep clicking here hoping to see some commentary on the quality/ framing choices for the actual prints...

Yet the postcards is where all the interest lies!

A First for a big name print release!!??

That's because you can get all 4 colour ways with the same effect and get it framed much much cheaper then to just have one of the print on its own.

Really like the float mounted one above

This looks really dope, would also work horizontal too. Some really good framing on these.

Done! That is what I'm gonna go for! Looks great and nice to hide those edges! 👍

IMO, the image isn't strong enough as 1 large image at 60cm x 60cm, it works much better as the grouped postcards.

The scale of the lettering on the big ones would be totally out of wack with what's on my walls, especially with the amount of black on them.

As it turns out, those £35 postcards are one of the nicest things I've picked up this year.

I framed it exactly like you. I think the postcards are looking fantastic together.

I did it myself with a 40x40 habitat frame I had and just had some mount cut. I used those lineco strips to mount it, which was a bit fiddly as I had the apertures as big as I could get them. It looks nicer in person, as the mount blends in well.
Not bad for about £45 and I'm giving it to the missus for Xmas so cheaper than a fuckin bag and I can enjoy it too. Win Win

Is there any way these were ready made frames?? I guess they were made specially...

A 40x40 frame you can get anywhere, just get the mount cut at a framer.

Indeed. 15€ aluminum frame (40x40) and a 10€ customized mount from a framer.

[highflyer]

Excellent! Thank you for the advice. Will do exactly that. Cheers

One of mine was scuffed and AR made me cut all of them up and photograph before sending out replacements.

[soupy]

went the £5 frame route for these. just swapped out the backs for some acid free foamcore and threw away the plastic view covers.
