Designing a shadowbox frame for this collection. Photo shows layout idea, by customer.
The coat is forty inches tall and heavy. Would you attach it to the backing, or use a hanger screwed into the inside of the top frame leg?
I told her the hanger idea, but she's leaning toward just attaching it to the backing. I've hand-sewn items before, but this is the heaviest.
Would you fill it with a hidden foam insert and hand-sew through that, at the seams?
I'm also pondering what to back it with. The inside of box will be 43 x 46", with matboard behind the objects. Am wondering whether
layers of foam core and matting would be rigid enough, or if we need to add on a strainer.
