Prints are done!

"Acerbitas" from the series "Verba" Coffee toned Cyanotype

 

Something always happens at the last minute – always!  I finished cutting all the mats and mounting the prints, only to have the glass break on the very last frame. 

The entire show will be twenty-five 11×14 frames, five 20×20 frames, four 16×20 frames, and a couple of small 10×10 ones.  The glass that broke was (of course) from one of the 20×20 frames.  So, I spent part of my weekend getting more and more panicked as we searched town for a replacement.

20×20 is an odd size and these frames were cut a bit too small.  Because of that the glass was a snug fit – too snug – it broke when I opened the frame up.  The simple solution – exchange the defective frame for one that was less tight – wasn’t possible because the store was out of that size frame. 

3 stores later, we finally found someone who could cut glass to fit the frame so that they would all match.  The glass cost more than the frame originally did, but I was desperate enough to pay it.  

Now that the project is finished and ready to hang it’s on to the next project.  I haven’t quite decided what that is yet.
