From The Desk Of: Amy Savoy
Dear Friend,
Since you’ve found this website I suppose it’s ok to let you know… “I’m a Picture Framing addict.” The truth is, I’m always on the internet looking for picture framing tips and tricks. That’s what led me to put this website up. Let me explain…
While surfing around the internet, I stumbled upon something so fantastic that it immediately got my attention… In fact, I discovered something sooo amazing that at first I thought it was "too good to be true" like most things are.
You see, a few months ago, I was doing some research on Mr. Edward Landon one of the most well-known and respected picture framers in recent history. I noticed that most of his work was available and accounted for with the exception of one of his most important pieces of work,‘Modern Methods Of Picture Framing And Finishing’.
Well, this got me curious and so I started digging a little deeper; I started to send off a few emails asking questions, but unfortunately every road I seemed to head down was a dead end… until a couple of weeks ago that is…
By a stroke of luck, I emailed my story to one of my favorite site’s webmasters… as it turned out he had an old copy of this difficult to find book
I Uncovered One Of The Most Important Picture Framing Manuscripts Of All Time....
Even though it was first published in 1962 this book has the best picture framing information I have ever seen.
In the 17 chapters here’s just a snippet of what you’ll learn:
- Discover where picture frames started—the answer has nothing to do with actual ‘wooden frames’.
- What tools and equipment to use—some of these tools are not what you have in your garage. Some are and you’ll be able to use them, however you may need some special one’s.
- All about ‘molding’s’ and where to get them—these beautiful pieces of finishing timber put that professional touch on your frame. Find out where to get them and how to pay as little as possible.
- How to do the perfect miter cut—there are some special little tips in doing this right. Get it wrong and the whole frame will be ruined.
- How to join the frame—as this point is integral in holding the whole thing together, the right glue, nails and other requirements are needed to get the strongest joint.
- Tips & tricks on the different inserts or linings to use—believe it or not, this part can make a picture look a ‘million dollars’
or just a two-bob piece of junk bought at the second hand shop.
- How to finish off the frame—no matter how good the frame is put together, without a good finish it will be useless. Discover which varnish to use and what undercoats are best for frames.
And there’s loads more…
At this point, you might be wondering how you can get your hands on a copy…
Well here’s the good news.
After doing even more research (I told you I was a picture framing addict) I have contacted the original copyright owners and gained permission to republish Mr. Edward Landon’s complete work on this website.
Because picture framing is my passion and I want to share it with as many people as possible. Believe it or not, I’ve decided to do something completely unheard of these days. I’m going to let you have this amazing manuscript for nothing.
It’s FREE… Yes 100% FREE
Now you have no excuse for not being able to make a beautiful picture frame that would be proud to adorn any wall in any home.
So without any further adieu, let’s get started...
