Rogatory
SGF, Supreme Grumble Framer
I would like to thank Angie for her hard work and enthusiasm!
And of course many thank you’s go out to the sponsors and the judges.
Would anybody care to post why they voted for an entry, whether the frame won or not? What was it that you LIKED about a certain piece? Was it the design? Was it the originality? Or perhaps you could just look at the piece and know how long that must have taken?
Judges, how did you judge the framing? Balance? Technique? Etc.
For instance I REALLY (really) liked Buddy’s Bridal Gazebo. It looks well thought out and has a nice visual balance to it. I like how the v groove reinforces the vertical lines of the gazebo and the ornate cuts at the bottom of the mat reflect the knot-work just above it. The matting colors are just off a tone from the background of the x-stitch drawing my eye to the artwork first.
Just curious.
