Displaying your work
« on: December 28, 2013, 06:49:27 pm »
What's your preferred method for displaying your scrollwork? Do you hang it as is, do you make a frame, do you make a base so it stands up?  I appreciate a lot depends on what the piece is. Thank you, Barry.

I have used all of the methods listed.  Even used two different display methods for the same pattern

For stuff like portraits, I have used twine to hang up indians that I cut. I think it gives a western look to it. Other portraits I like to frame. I guess it depends like what has been said in the comments above. If there is a certain theme for the work being displayed, display it to fit the theme. You usually don't see an intarsia piece standing on a stand, it is usually hanging on the wall. My two cents worth.

Just a newbie question. I hadn't seen any finished pieces in presentation form in the "Brag Forum". Suppose it all boils down to common sense and imagination, two character traits of which I'm in short supply. Cheers, Barry.
