Product Description
Product Description
Graduate from complete beginner to confident expert: that is where this question-and-answer guide can take would-be frame-makers. With instructions, advice, and colour photographs that present the techniques in detail, Picture Framing follows every step, from gathering the tools and selecting basic materials to choosing the right frame (sectional, prefinished and hardware store frame molding, BarnWood frames), assembling it, and matting the finished artwork. Here are the queries every crafter wants to ask, and solutions to all the problems encountered along the way, demonstrated in multiple projects. Even those purchasing a ready-made will find important information on displaying and mounting their art.

I bought this book together with Picture Framing a Complete Guide and they both complement one another. This is a simple book in many ways, but is very informative and useful: a good guide to making picture frames. On its own, it might appear too simplistic for anyone who has ambitions in framing professionally and the other book mentioned would be worth getting as well, but not instead of. I felt that this book is a good, practical guide to the subject at an affordable price and well worth buying on its own for anyone already good with tools and crafts. It has no ambition beyond demonstrating how to mount art works and make a frame that sets them off well.

As I had a few pictures to frame I thought this book would be of use - wrong ! not much help at all
- a slim book which has LOTS of pictures and little text
- It does seem to skip over things and introduce words without explaining that they are - i.e. a rabbet
- Pictures are not captioned and not always put alongside the relevant text.
As another reviewer said this book may be useful as a companion to another book but certainly it doesnt stand up by itself
