Entry #1
1) Frame used: Xylo #85, modified.
2) none
3) Item framed: Acrylic on support composed of found objects including old frame, door knob, soap bottle, birds, slats.
4) Frame design: Sort of a pseudo-floater with a cove face. 5) Xylo #85 turned on its back (which was trimmed down to be flat) with a strip of 1/2 round added to the face so that it over hung the frame opening slightly making it neccesary to route a shallow rabbet to load the art from the back. The 1/2 round was then carved out to create a cove. The cove was decorated with gesso useing a pasiglia technique then 23kt watergilded and burnished. The back of the frame was mordant gilded with metal leaf , toned & patinaed as was the inner wall of the frame.
Entry #2
Frame used: Sunset moulding 67-52
Mat used: Artcare Alphalinen #4027 (Gaugin Green)
Fillet used: Nurre Caxton #730-01
Description of item framed: An oil painting of a fisherman in his boat on a foggy day
Description of framing design: Although the fillet and moulding were not manufactured by the same company, they fit perfectly together; each having a reddish tone with gold accents. The reddish tones bring out the color of the sail and shadows in the water. There is a fine green/grey accent line on the frame which blends in well with the colors of the fog and water. There were both blue-toned greens and yellow-toned greens in the painting, but the colour of the "Gaugin Green" alphalinen mat seemed fit nicely with both tones of greens.
Technique used: The oil painting is on a canvas board and isn't tall and skinny like the frame. I basically created a sink mat out of Artcare foamboard and set the painting inside the sink.
