I am experimenting with posting entries in the style of hand-written postcards. See below images for a text version.
Small amounts of poster tack bedded between the picture edge and the frame suffice to keep everything in place during assembly.
This is the painting I have donated to be one of the two prizes for the annual church fête picture raffle. It will soon be going on display at Runwayskiln Café, Marloes Sands: they will be selling raffle tickets through June and July. The raffle will be drawn during the fête at St Brides Castle, Thursday August 7th, opening at 6 pm.
This is my standard framing style, using reclaimed timber – not beachcombed, as it happens, but planed down from cedar cladding ex an old shed. The top and bottom rails are cut from longer runs; it takes time to work out the best arrangement, so that knots and/or nail holes do not distract the onlooker.
