WOW Framer
I use the term "bling bling" since it has been officially inducted into the OED. What I mean is bright, shiny stuff like Rhinestones and other glass jewels and flat marbles and even seashells.
I like to adorn frames with these items and even though I have been doing it for years, I have yet to arrive at a satisfactory adhesive. I have tried silicone, hot glue, Household Goop, Duco Cement and many others. Stuff will eventually just fall off of the frame.
Sometimes the leaf on the Rhinestones lets go, meaning the nekkid stone falls off leaving a bright spot. Other times, on leafed frames, the leaf from the frame fails and I end up with a red spot (undercoat).
We're not talking preservation framing here, folks, more like what I call "Fun Framing." I hesitate to offer this "service" to customers due to the glue failure aspect that I have found on my personal projects.
Any suggestions??? I have amassed a huge collection of "bling bling" for just this artistic purpose and I hate to see it just sitting around unappreciated in a drawer!
(PS- there are a couple of examples of what I am describing on my website in the Fun Frames Gallery - "Ganesh" and "Forest Bed.")
Any glue ideas would be appreciated....
