Framing Part 2

After the second day, the frames have been assembled and get a half day to dry.




Then I cut backing panels to suspend the painting panels to and screw them into the floater frame. The orange line lets me know how to reassemble them at a glance, and both the painting and the frames are signed because you don't get to see the back of the painting in this type of assembly.




Next I use precut spacers to center the painting in the frame and then attach the painting to the backing panel.




Finally I unscrew the backing panel from the floater frame, leaving the painting attached. Tomorrow is sanding, spackling, and then priming the frames, while painting the backing panel and painting edges seperately.
