To frame or not to frame?
The time has come for me to decide whether or not I should frame my pictures. And the answer is- yes! So, next step, how? I've made frames before and I've got a good recipe down for a simple, clean-lined floater (or floating) frame. For right now I'll call it ff for short (today's blog post is brought to you by the letter f...as in flea circus! ). A floating frame, I mean ff, is a box type frame in which the picture sits, usually not touching the sides, so that it appears to float. For my paintings, this is a good choice because I composed the pictures in such a way that I did not plan for any part to be covered up by a frame. I'm either going with a simple white frame or a simple black frame. I like the white because it's a little different, but I like the black because it's a little more classic. What do you think? I'd love to hear your opinions. Around this post are some photos of my most recent Let me know what you think!painting with both a white sample and a black sample. The photos aren't fantastic. Sorry. I had to lay the painting on the desk and lean over it since the samples are only that- samples- and therefore not attached to the picture.
Personally, I like the black. It doesn't seem to compete with the painting. The painting, by the, is fantastic and I believe it has a very real possiblity of winning the big prize at a certain competition that's coming up......Yea!

I agree with Sunny and like the black frame because it doesn't distract from the painting. The white one looks nice too, but I go back and forth looking at the painting and then the frame. The black one just frames it in nicely. Stephen votes for the black frame too!
