Have a potential framing project.
Customer is not sure how to handle a sentimental personalized plate given to her last year by her daughter.
It is large - 16" x 2" deep and is a heavy, thick plate.
My personal feelings are not to frame this type of item but display it in a hutch or cabinet or on a shelf of some nature. I think they get too bulky looking for the average home...
But that is my personal taste - if she wants it framed - any ideas of how to minimize the size of the package while still having it look nice.
A shadowbox is so deep and hides most of it... I am thinking a plexi cover for a regular frame with a substantial backer board to attach it to... but what to use to attach it since it is SO heavy and bulky. I have done plates that are more delicate with no problems - this one concerns me for the long run..
Ideas!?
Thanks,
Roz
