This is a good brief overview, but for some of us it is more convenient & economical to pay a professional framer.

By the time I got all the equipment, space, tools & supplies, I had thousands invested. Not to mention the wasted materials, frustration from mistakes I made learning how to mat & frame.

Now I take all my work to a framer. He does a great job. I have more time, money for materials, space & mental energy to paint.

Can someone please tell me the name of the paper you use to frame the picture with ?

When you want to show the edges of the paper within a frame, you can display the artwork on a board and secure it with Hinging Tape. Please contact Blick's product experts for details on how to do this and materials needed. They can be contacted by email at: info @ dickblick . com, or you can call toll free: 1-800-933-2546.
