Curley, did you find a link for that frame from Habitat or do I have to go in there?

Also, where did you get the spacers from?

I have to say I think it looks amazing... as did the Jack and Jill in that same frame Congrats! (Great to see the first one framed too!)

What? They are?? Damn Refresh Button told me I was only one in her life! *sob*

pworks --> I care too ;D Actually, I went by my local thiftstore after I saw yours, but never found one that was the right size

[lesroy]

Awwwww man I love that frame!!

Class.... looks like you 'arf inched it from the Tate!

Looks really good Pworks!

[trowel]

Was in Habitat today pricing up that frame you're using Curley. I think it's the 70x50cm at only £25.

Although that sounds too small for the LA prints (565x765mm - except Applause of course...) the frame is designed for a 70x50cm print to fit in the centre with a clear border of about 8cm?

That design is available up to 100x70cm which could look nice for Flying Copper...

[gbh]

now that is a wicked frame.

[Curley]

I'm sure that Habitat frame i have used is actuallually the one for the 70x50 as the idea was for there to be a large clear border (10cm) surrounding the print (think thats the whole idea). Basically thay are outsized. The 100 x 70 would be bigger again.
There's about a cm spare all round. The spacers were made of the best scrap cardbord box i could find in the house :-)

Sorry no link as i went in and bought it, hope i may need another 5.

Pworks loving that frame to...

Now back to my refresh button.

How much did that style of framing cost ya, rklimek? I'm thinking of doing that for my Crude Oils / Guantanamo Bay repros, but they look really expensive.

[RBK]

The frame was quite expensive, and then after all the archival stuff (UV glass, spacers & floating mount) the grand total was $350 USD.

I'm of the school that if you are going to frame something, you should do it right.

[Ågent ßacardi]

I'm in that same school, only in the low-budget branch ;D

Guess I've got some serious saving to do

[trowel]

I'm in the cheap school too - here's my signed Love Rat which has been in a clip frame since I bought it over a year ago



No funny comments about that being the best way to frame a Love Rat!

Is that the CLIPS frame from Ikea? I've been looking for one that size, but seems like they don't make it anymore??

And by the way, that's simply the best way to frame a Love Rat.

(I just HAD to!!) ;D

[trowel]

Don't think it's Ikea - it's below their quality standards even: please note the broken corner in the bottom right and the missing clip at the top!

Still, with market forces what they are, it's probably worth 10x what it was before it went into the thing - even though it is sadly under-appreciated

[lesroy]

trowel sorry but I have to make a comment... please read the framing section in this forum... you MUST get another frame Silk Screen prints really shouldn't go in a clip frame... a normal frame will only cost a tenner if you're worried about price but clip frames are the devil for two main reasons!

They squash the image against the glass... any heat or moisture will make your £1500 / £2000 print stick to the glass!

They apply uneven pressure to the print, because of the clips and will cause it to riplle the paper.

Please please get better frame...

[CR]

I agree with lesroy, even more so seeing as its a signed print!!!

[trowel]

I know I know... It's on my list of things to frame properly - but my original Roy of the Rovers artworks (value ~£30 each...) somehow nipped ahead... c'mon Racey!

I've taken it out a few times to check and there's no warping or sticking at all - it's only a PVC sheet rather than glass so it doesn't suffer from the cold. But thanks for the advice and I promise to sort it out soon!

[senna]

how much for the signed love rat minus the 'frame'? hehe

[lesroy]

Senna THAT IS AWESOME I WANT IT!!!

The only person that could really give you a true idea of the reasoning behind this print is Ben at POW who would have printed it. I have bin hearing about a few more different Banksy prints that were done in strange colours and on weird and wonderful paper but not many seem to see the light of day shame really

My Love Rat lived in a clip frame for over a year too, with absolutely no ill effects at all.

[senna]

....at least you've got it up LR

[senna]

sorry meant to say atleast you have it on display TROWEL
TIME FOR BED ME THINKS

[lesroy]

I think that Gold Flower Chucker looks amazing mate, funnily enough my red Love is in the Air turned up yesterday... and ITS BETTER THAN EXPECTED!!

I love it

Looking at the detail your one has to be real... Im just well curious to find out how many others are like that... Id love to know what Ben knocks out when he's a little tipsy... "Psycadelic Flower Chucker anyone?"

Thanx for showing us Senna!

Heard rumours about it but never seen a photo, Thugs over on the bay should be able to help.
