Hi Folks,
Anyone tried "leather" mats? Do you like them? Are they suitable for conservation framing? Are they buffered even?
I've also heard about "silk wrapped" mats. Are these difficult to buy/make/construct? If they are a "home made" effort, any tips on how to make them? When they are suitable for use (your favorite time to use them)?
I've seen a number of posts about people adding ribbon, threads or "beads" to matting. Archival glues? What about the thread/ribbon and concerns about conservation framing standards ... is this an issue?
Thanks for your opinions/info !!!
Peter
