A new framing tool for me :)
Hi all!If you frame most of your work by your own, perhaps you'll know this:
you've buy a perfect frame for your finished pattern - only the passepartout in it is either too small or too large. So you've to buy a new one, especially made for YOUR pattern. I often have this problem and I'm always a bit angry to have to spend (much) more money to order these special models.
Today I received my last purchase: a mat cutter to make my own passepartouts now :D. It's the "Logan 350-1 Compact EliteMat Cutter"
The cutter is rather big (nearly 90 cm, therefore it came in its original packaging with a shipping label on it as you can see on the first picture.
After I had built together all pieces (this took me a while.... sorry I'm a lady :P), I was ready to cut my first passepartout. It's still not perfect but it was really easy to make. (and I use only a "normal" piece of paper for my practise and not a special one)
Now, I'm going professional :lol:lol
Thank for looking, I hope you'll like it! :)

I might get myself one because as you said it is hard to find that perfect frame for your work
:lol
I've been looking at these for awhile now. I have used this model when I took a framing course. You can buy circular cutters too for framing!Make sure you have lots of blades, they dull really quickly and don't cut too well when they get dull. I decided to wait til I can afford one and I want one I can mount to a table; it's really expensive though! looks very useful Can't wait to see the beauties you'll come up with, Urmel!

Very interesting - thanks for sharing :) - it is well worth keeping in mind.
I have over the years done a lot of frame shopping in 2nd hand shops as they often have old pictures in really nice frames - and they hardly cost anything. A tool like this would easily make it look a lot better ! Fantastic!! wonderful tool this is a very useful tool, thank you for the imagination Great idea. Looks like you will be very busy! Yo quiero unooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :'(
Me encanta hacer mis propios marcos, es parte de la diversión :loveliness:
