Hello all,
I am planning to launch into custom framing using solid timber and all archival materials - probably not properly for another 18m when my daughter will be at full-time school.
I've been working on some frames for photos of our daughter that have been sitting in a filing cabinet for 3y but had to put them aside to do a gift for a family member's 70th.

The frame is timber from an old English Oak desk I am gradually dismantling.
All archival materials were used to aid in conservation of sterling silver 1937 Australian Crowns:
- inside of timber rebate sealed with acid-free acrylic medium
- acid-free mat boards
- coins fixed with acid-free permanent glue dots
- backed with acid-free foam board to protect from temperature extremes
- frame sealed with tape to protect from dust, moisture and insects
More detailed pics (and some shots of a roman blind that kept me away from the shed on and off for several weeks because I had to repaint the window frame behind it) are in my Flickr projects set (http://www.flickr.com/photos/s-s-a/sets/72157601900295071/).
