Ikea for their Ribba frames is the way to go. They go up to large sizes, and I reckon they look quite noice.

she's on the west side of the road, up near A1 et al.

Sydney?

Do Blue Dog frame? I could only find blockmounting and laminating info on the website.


goldfoot  said about 3 years ago:

I don't think so but there is a framing place right next door.

I hate that framing things can be so expensive.. i hate blank walls! Especially when we have we have about 10 awesome prints/posters that need framing.

Goldy, is that framing place next door to blue dog new or part of the art supplies store that used to be there? Cause i remember them being expennos.

Glebe Picture Frames in St Johns Road have always looked after me very well.

Oddly enough I was considering paying them a visit this afternoon.


__v  said about 3 years ago:

NB Not necessarily cheap, but I guess if it is worth framing then it is probably worth doing well.

Right next door to Blue Dog is a proper framing place. I was in there a few years back with a friend who was getting stuff framed and i remember being shocked at how much it cost.

There's another place on Enmore Rd opposite the Enmore Theatre.

Block mounting thread, which might have some useful info.

I see I posted almost the same sentence about Glebe Picture Frames a year ago. I'm not sure if that is worryingly formulaic or pleasingly consistent.

Fuck framing stuff is expensive, I don't want to put blue tack on the back of my prints though...I just want something that doesn't look too tacky.


tawedog  said about 2 years ago:

ralf just buy a cheap frame and i'll do it for you.

After i finish your roof.


Actionralf  said about 2 years ago:

so what choo saying is neither is going to happen?


Tiger Tiger  said about 2 years ago:

for posters try this:

cheap, looks better than blue tacked posters and reusable. They are plastic and can be easily cut to size.
