Check with a professional framer for advice on how to frame your work to best advantage

Simple frames are currently most marketable

Be sure the colour of the frame best complements the artwork and mat - if in doubt, go with a simple Black or White

Be sure the artwork and mat fit snugly and squarely in the frame​​

Should not be scratched or otherwise damaged

Corners should match up perfectly

Should not be chipped, damaged or scratched

Artists are welcome to recycle frames, but they must be sell/display ready

Must be spotless on both sides, with no chips or scratches

Be aware that non-glare glass diminishes colour by as much as 20% 

Must be spotless and perfectly cut

White mats tend to be the best for sales

Wires can be dangerous.  Wrap the ends securely around the main hanging wire and cover the ends with tape.

Be sure the wire is taut enough so the frame hangs properly and the wire does not show above the frame.

Place the wire grips (rings) about 1/3 down from the top of the frame. (d hooks that mount flesh to the work, not hooks that stick out from the back - this causes the work to not hang flat on the walls.
