Mats, glass, and cat hair
I’ll be framing for the next few days. I’ve tried lots of different approaches over the years — framing a piece as soon as I’m satisfied with it or piling the paintings up and tackling it all at once. I haven’t found the perfect way to get the job done. Even hiring a framer isn’t perfect — I’m impatient as a deadline approaches and I like keeping framing cost low. I kind of like finishing a piece, putting it on the wall for a few days till I feel sure it is finished, then sliding it into the flat file, out of sight. Then when several are ready, I order supplies in bulk (cheaper) and dive in. It is the dive that can be the problem. I’ve become a Class A Procrastinator.
