An Oversized Challenge

12/2/2016

​We always love a challenge.  One of our customers brought us a enormous painting on paper by Isabelle Abbot Baldwin.  Normally, paintings on paper are put under glass, but the customer wanted this one to float, in a floater frame, as a painting on canvas would do.  The piece was over 50"x50" which made finding an appropriate substrate tricky.  With some brainstorming, we developed a system to mount the large paper piece in a floater frame that was strong, stable, and still retained the paper's light, airy feel.

​Interlocking layers of mounting board were cut to fit behind the painting and mounted overnight.

​The paper was not perfectly square, so some extra calculation and planning was in order.  After laying out all of the components, we marked and attached a stretcher to provide the strength necessary for such a large piece to be stable over time.

​The piece settled nicely into it's new frame!

​The customer and Isabelle were very pleased with the results, and so were we!
