I would love to have a look Oh, sure, maybe tomorrow when the light is better!

paul alex Posted August 18 Author Report Share Posted August 18 Nice I'm looking forward to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugyotsuji Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 All of these look better without glass! The first one fell down the back of a chest as I was hanging it, so it needs redoing… Amateur night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugyotsuji Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 You are forgiven!!! I have several loose, as yet unframed triptychs, but I like the way you have left margins between and not attempted to join up your 'beauty' set above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul alex Posted August 19 Author Report Share Posted August 19 Yes I think they look better with the boarders.i had to buy a proper mount cutter I was trying to cut them free hand I can do singles but three is a bit much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blacksmith Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 I envy you Piers, as probably you can still obtain nice woodblock prints at reasonable prices in Japan. I did have a few years ago, but alas they were destroyed in a fire along with my library. There used to be a shop in Camden Passage in London that sold prints, and where I bought a few. Unfortunately the lady who owned the shop was from Nagasaki, and wouldn't have anything sword related in the shop. Nice frames gents! Well done! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
