The Frame Lady
CGF, Certified Grumble Framer
I am doing a Navajo rug with a finished size of 60X87. There will be about 4" of mat seen around the rug. I am splicing 3 oversized suedes together. The frame is a deep shadowbox with another flat moulding (about 3 inches wide) used for visual weight at the front of the shadobox moulding. The sides will be lined or painted and the rug will be at the back of the shadowbox. There will be no glazing. My quandary is mounting this thing and keeping it from bowing, then hanging it as well. It will be hanging very high on a wall (above a 7' or 8' wardrobe)which will help with any splicing visibility.
I have searched the topic and haven't found any final solutions. I do have some ideas swimming around in my sugar overloaded cranium, but I am open to any and all suggestions.
The bad part . . . I need to have it done by Dec 31. Yeah, I know it will be a miracle, but it's the season for miracles isn't it?
Thanks in advance!
