Thats way cool. I have a pink Breast Cancer Awareness stick that was signed by the local hockey team that I need to frame for an auction next month. I like the puck idea, how did you do it, if I may ask.

Looks better here than in that itty-bitty picture on my phone...

Great job!

Very nice. The puck and broken acrylic is killer.

 

[Framar]

So, how did you achieve that look with the broken-looking bit? That is too cool!

I did a piece once that was a poem about a book being shot up by an ignoramus, and I pasted one of those "bullet hole" decals on the glass. Did the trick.

 

[simplymatted]

Okay, how did you give the broken glass look? Dont make us beg for the tip.

 

[Paul N]

What are you talking about? The glass is really broken and the puck is stuck in it....it took her about 2 cases of glass to get it right.....

Actually, it is pretty ingenious how she (and Dave / FrameMakers who was the first to create this look) did that.

I will let either one elaborate.

EASY PEASY doing the cracks!!!!!

Just get some silicone......all I did was use and awl and a nail and spread the goop out in all directions........trying not to get too carried away ....which is hard for me NOT to do..

OH........and do it on the INSIDE of the acrylic!

 

[Artistic Framer]

And I believe the puck was cut in half (at an angle), and glued to the inside and outside of the acrylic to make it appear imbedded. Haven't tried it, but it's in the vault!

NICE job Nicole!

 

[Framar]

Did I hear someone say the words "SILICONE" and "INSIDE of the acrylic" - in the same sentence???????!!!!!?????!!!!!

EEK!!!!!

Here come the Framing Police!!!

 

[blackiris]

I'll say it ........I LOVE SILICONE!! Smells good too...
