Night-time is very good time to catch ideas! When the rest of the family (wife and dog) are sleeping, one has excellent chances to find solutions to problems.
I had several "not-so-very-important" drawings which I still want to store somewhere - in this case, on the wall of our toilet!
Commercial framing is reasonably expensive and restricted for the best works (I try to live economically). I tend to visit my art shop in the center of Jyväskylä to have good framing for bigger paintings and colour drawings. Some smaller drawings can be framed myself. Here is my method:
1. Visit some flea market / 2nd Hand Shop to find cheap, printed pictures with frames (this one costed only 2 €). Take the cartonboard sheets, cut in the sizes of your works, with you - it's much faster to compare the sizes of the potential frames and your works by using them than by measuring the sizes of the frames!
2. When arrived back home, check your empty canned food tin cans (or open one and eat it first), then remove the opener, included in it, carefully. Now you have a hanger for your framing.
3. Remove the printed photo/picture from the frame (carefully! The glass could be broken) and install your own work into the frame, under the class cover.
4. Find a piece of strong tape and attach the tin can opener on the backside of the framing.
5. Ask your wife/husband/dog, where you can hang your work!
That's all. Easy, isn't it?
