    Default Looking for help picking out a Frame

    Hey guys, I was just curious to see what you guys could come up with as far as a frame goes for this. I know it's not gig related, but I'm really puzzled on this one.

    Here's the thing, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the look of the hand torn edges and want to showcase them, however I still want the framejob to look clean and modern.

    You could do a float mount, similar to this:

    I had an original pencil drawing that was floated on glass so the glass acts like the mat.

    I would show it to you but I am dumb and the only camera i have is on my phone.

    Yep. This is what I was going to say. I saw some that Squeegeethree did and they looked awesome. Going to try this for some of my prints. (the ones I've bought of course, not mine)

    I always float my prints. Matts drive me nuts. I also like "white-rubbed" wood. I still has the appearance of wood but looks white on the wall. Doesn't complete with the artwork.
