DIY
Sometimes you can fall into the trap of thinking that once you buy the art all the rest falls into place. Yes, finding something you love can feel like the hard part, but I find it’s often also tricky to decide how you’re going to display it!
To a newbie this could seem like a daunting quest; the oh-so-pretty etching you were so excited to discover could end up gathering dust under the stairs through nervousness. But like anything, you don’t know till you try! Put the artwork in a few places and see how it flows with the rest of your space.
Whether you own a couple of pieces, are already a collector or just want advice on how to get started, here are a few general tips on how to get started on framing your art!

To frame or not to frame?
As any skinny-dipper would tell you, sometimes au-naturel is simply better. By hiding the edges with a clunky frame you might be hindering the dramatic impact of the work. If you’re not sure, I would suggest trying without first.
Remember though, the addition of a frame can be more than just decorative. Framing can help to protect the work from damage and environmental factors like moisture, dust, mould and fading. Mediums such as prints, watercolour and works on paper, are particularly susceptible to fading and damage without proper protection. Even handling certain paper can cause damage.
