Fabric frame

This frame is a little different, it has been covered in fabric that was originally a sarong. The frame was made as normal, then the wood was sized and sealed. The fabric was carefully ironed to remove lots of deep creases. An adhesive was put all over the frame with a roller, when this had nearly dried the fabric was put over the frame and was smoothed down and trimmed to size. After some drying time, the fabric was ironed all over to reactivate the adhesive and increase the bond strength.

A framed textile

This textile has been stretched over foamboard and secured in place with T-pins, it has been double mounted and the framed in an antique looking gold frame. This frame has a generous rebate depth, which makes framing textiles much easier as the combination of glass, mount, foamboard and backing is usually quite deep.
