how to float an image in a frame


I was asked for images of how I attach a print to a backing board when I want to float the image in a frame. I have uploaded images to flickr that show the steps I take to frame the small gingko prints in the gingko grid.

I use the same type of paper that I made the print on to make the T's. I used to use gummed linen tape to attach them but have switched to self-adhesive linen hinging tape.

Now that it is almost Spring and my allergies will soon respond to that TBA (think Arrested Development) tree pollen, the 99th Annual Ohio Art League Spring Juried Exhibition continues at Fort Hayes Shot Tower gallery. This year's edition features the vandyke brown print "Twelve" from my Forces of Nature series. The exhibition was juried by Ron Pizzuti and will be on display from March 2 to April 27.


The Fort Hayes Shot Tower gallery is open MON-FRI 9am - 4pm but call ahead, 614-365-6681, to confirm. Find the Shot Tower gallery at 546 Jack Gibbs Boulevard Columbus, Ohio 43215.

Please note that Fort Hayes will be closed for spring break: April 2 - 11.
