Framing and matting

[perezfan]

Infinitely better. Looks great, and love the Kreindlers.

So silly to mat/frame the LOA, which is just a supporting piece with no aesthetic value whatsoever.

Fantastic job!

Thanks. I thought the same about the cert. No idea why anyone would want it displayed like that.

I would never mat the cert, but I do tape it to the back of the frame which is better than looking for it later. Nice job Mark.

Just a thought but, for insurance/theft purposes, you may want to keep it separate. I keep all of my COAs in a fireproof safe. If anything in my collection should walk off, I figure that’s decent evidence I owned that particular piece.

Loving all the frames. Wish I had the wall space. Being an art collector as well, I sorta had to choose which direction to go with my walls.

I take it one step further than that. Most of what i frame are copies with the originals and any certs in a safe deposit box. The Ruth, Johnson, Cobb, Wagner, Speaker, and Collins above are all framed copies. I do a high quality print and no one can tell the difference.

Can you tell us where or how you make these copies? I'm thinking this is the way to go.

I scan them at home on my scanner and then print them. I usually choose a very high dpi scan setting to get as much detail as i can. I will then print using different setting to see which gives the best/closest result.
As you can see above, the original check has a little bit more green/gray hue to it than the copy i framed. The way i think about it is that no one is going to know the real original color, so as long as it is close enough and looks good, I'll use it.
When i get home later, I'll take a picture of some of the other tests printings that did not make the cut.
Also, for most of the paper items, like checks/3x5s, i use plain paper for the final frame as glossy and matte photo paper make the items look like photos and not originals.
