First things first...Hello, everyone!!
I have a customer that has brought in a 11x14x2 rdy made shadowbox, one that comes with a sheath thing instead of mats attached to foam core to hold the glass in place.
Okay, her object is 2.5" deep, so where do I get the other half an inch?
I'm trying blackfoam core cut perfectly to fit as very oversized spacers and am currently leaving out that sheath glassholdy thing (if anyone knows the technical term for this ingenius device, please, share). And then to keep my mounted object on white mat on foamcore in place, I have secured with preservation frame lining tape; yeah, instead of using framer's points. I have put a dustcover all the way around the excessive half inch but it's blue craft paper and the frame is black and you can imagine what this is going to look like hangin on the wall. I have yet to put on a hanging device. I was thinking screw eyes with loose wire and bumpons on the four corners that stick out .5" past the protection of the wood. (btw, the frame of course is one of those cheap ones that's moulding legs are ~.5" wide)
Does anyone have a better solution other than going with another frame, 'cause this is due basically yesterday and no more money to spend on another frame
?
Thanks in advance.
