A chance to pretend I'm on the Repair Shop.
Lovely old frame with lots of potential. All the flower were damaged or missing.
Three acanthus leaves completely missing. Moulds were made for these and the flowers.
Overall, shabby and tired. Lots of paint to touch in and the feet were secured to the frame, making it stable.
Moulds turned out good replacements, which were stuck on and painted.
Leaves were a bit more tricky, being 3 dimensional, but after paint, look good.
A thorough clean up helped overall, leaving a touch in of various shades of gold and polish. Not too much, just enough to still look untouched.
I will update the Gallery as I go along and work out how to take a better photo!
BBMF frame holds Truvue70 anti reflection glass, whereas the Mowtown Frame is ordinary glass.
With an envelope of dirty and damaged pictures, we decided on the colours of frame and mountboard. After cleaning and repairs, I created several layouts, cut the board, hung the pictures and finished with a non-reflective, UV resistant glass.
