Dramatic!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I bought some very cheap frames at TOFS, in order to get some more art on the walls, without breaking the bank. I\u2019m framing some postcards I bought at the current Fitzwilliam Bill Blake show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tools for the job.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Picked these four initially.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I picked the above images. I might change one or two choices? Or just frame a few more?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Made one change, selection wise.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So, I\u2019ve left out (?), and instead opted for Europe, A Prophecy<\/em>. I just feel it\u2019s visually stronger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mystic mayhem!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This one is used for the show\u2019s advertising.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The above, after Fuseli, is the best choice in this set. There are numerous other images in the show I\u2019d have picked in preference to most of the others, such this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A snap from the show, Los with his hammer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m excited to hear that my order of The Complete Illuminated Manuscripts<\/em> – to fund the acquisition of which I put in an extra shift this week – is due to arrive tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Arriving soon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I also framed a Japanese print, as a gift for our pal, Dan, who\u2019s helped us a lot in the last year or two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Japanese print, for a gift.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I hope he (and Amy, etc) likes it!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
This pokey-out bit is a bitch!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

FOOTNOTE<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cheap frames from TOFS have a design flaw. The little metal stud type things that secure the picture hanging doodad on the back, pole through too much. So much so they interfere with the framed image. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Punch out the hole\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I tried to mitigate this by building up some masking tape. But that was a very lame and unsuccessful attempt at addressing the issue. So instead I cut out some card, to thicken up the backing board (too thin as supplied!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Nubbin sits in hole.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I then punched a hole where the protruding nubbin is, so it can protrude into said hole, without affecting the framed image. Job done. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
