I thing many of us know of David Hockney's work and how pleased I was to receive this print to frame for the lady who bought it.
​
The moulding was easy for her to decide as she already had a frame which used the same one. The window mountboard was a good method as it does coincide with part of the stems.

As a present, a wee group of friends worked together to complete this enjoyable jigsaw. It didn’t come as a surprise to hear them say they enjoyed spending time together, chatting about ‘x, y & z’, which also working on the jigsaw. When they completed the work, they phoned me and when I was with them, they selected the moulding that does draw out the jigsaw. The glass, as you’ll see below, was equally appropriate:

A year ago, my wife and I had a long holiday in the States, which was followed by a cruise. In the US, for a few days we stayed in the city, known as, the 'Big Easy'. One of our friends used to have dachshunds. We saw this funny photograph where you can see the dog's AKA, sausage dog, plus the New Orleans Saints' helmet. As you can tell, we bought the signed phtograph and when we got back, I framed it and we gave it to the lady. She loved it and so too her other friends.
The moulding is a 25mm Gold Scoop, glass is Conservation Clear and the window mountboard is grey.
I can't frame this photograph, seeing where we bought it, though I can frame for you, hence please contact me.
The Cure’s double album, Mixed Up, came out as a vinyl in 1990 though this remastered CD was in 2018.
If your question is, ‘whether the CD can still be played?’ Yes, I have the specific double-sided tabs, which can be removed without causing a damage.
​
-
Moulding: matching some colours, I used the green that is scratched onto silver
-
Window Mountboard: making sure the CD doesn't touch the glass, it's raised from the grey undermount
-
Glass: where this is going, together with cost implications, float glass was used.
Unexpected present from his wife to him, which was much enjoyed. They served in the military services and followed by the police force. I very much framing this for not only that, yet he, like me, support Leeds Utd…

I met the lady, her partner and son at the Hadleigh Xmas Craft Show. At the appointment she showed me the limited addition picture, though sadly the frame it was in wasn't good, in short it didn't attract the eye to the picture. I suggested the picture would look amazing by it being floated, by foam core, from the undermount. She liked the idea and therefore selected the colour of the undermount and the moulding that I recommended. Thankfully the lady was aware of the different types of glass and selected Anti-Reflective. I did manage to deliver it on Christmas Eve and was so pleased that she then sent me a picture of it on the wall.

Watercolour paint onto size ACEO paper, the title of the artwork is 'Busy Day In The Countryside'. I used foam core to raise each picture from the undermount and this in turn creates shadows and a wonderful look. Spacers were used so there is a gap between the artwork and the glass. Without a spacers there could be humidity between the paintings and glass, leaving severe damage to the artwork.
