Here’s a new installation in the What You’ll Need Series.  We’ve created a page that shows you everything you need to frame your art in a metal frame from Documounts.

There are links to help you with each step and you can print it up to take it into the studio with you.

We hope you find it useful.  Take me to What You’ll Need for Framing Artwork in a Metal Frame.

What do cherry pies, pigs and Documounts’ products have in common?

They can all be found at county fairs.

With the onset of summer we’ve started getting calls from amateur artists and photographers across the country who are planning to submit artwork to their local county fair.

A cheap and easy presentation option is to take some Precut Mats, some Precut Mountboards, some standard acrylic and fit them all into the Profile 11 Nielsen frames.

You can submit all your artwork to the Fair knowing that you’ve enhanced it at very little cost or effort.  It’s a blue ribbon recipe for success!

If you’re familiar with Nielsen metal frames you know that these frames not only come in a variety of profiles and colors but also with shiny, matte and frosted finishes.  These finishes are perfect for lots of project

But, if you’re looking for something unique, consider a Florentine Finish.

Nielsen Florentine Finish frames are etched with tiny cross-hatch lines. The result is a subtle texture with a sparkly and jewel-like finish.  Check them out…
