Mat, Mount and Frame It Yourself (Crafts Highlights)
An attractive, well-designed frame not only enhances a picture  but preserves and protects it. Logan, a contributing editor at  Artists' Magazine who has taught framing and matting across the  United States, shows readers how to present their artwork  skillfully and economically. A great deal of planning is  essential for success: Logan shows how to compose the entire  presentation so that it will be aesthetically pleasing. Some of  the tools and materials required are fairly common (e.g., saws  and molding), while others are more esoteric (e.g., museum-grade  matboard). Logan does a great job of explaining everything and  supplements the text with attractive photos, which will be a  helpful resource for beginners to copy. There is something here  for framers of all skill levels. Recommended for most public  library collections.Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
