Cheap framing, cheap exhibitions!



Framing of small drawings (and there are a lot of them on my shelves!) may be relatively expensive when asking the assistance of an art store. Framing prices of these kind of minor pieces of art may cost several tens of euros per drawing.

But there is an alternative! Indeed! All three frames of the drawings above have costed 4:50 € together! I give a hint! You must take cartonboard sheets, comparable with the original drawings, with you when visiting FLEA MARKETS! The prices of empty frames / frames with a printed picture or photo cost, ususally, only 0:50...2:00 €.

I am currently planning an minor exhibition of my drawings from 1996 to 2014 in one of four alternatives available. Three of the sites are all free, so I tend to prefer them. You are very welcome to visit the exhibition when the site and date are chosen!

- The photos included represent two techniques: charcoal (uppermost drawing of the old Petäjävesi Church, UNESCO target) and felt-tip calligraphy pens with colour pens (two drawings below: left a winter view to Lappeenranta Harbour, right a moment in a Slovenian cafe).

Two drawings of Petäjävesi Church, Central Finland



The old Petäjävesi Church is a cultural target, protected by UNESCO. I like to visit it on warm, sunny summer days because the fine, old buildings and the tranquil churchyard, located on the shore of the lake. Petäjävesi is situated some 30 km westward from the city of Jyväskylä - I'll recommend a visit there if you are travelling in Central Finland!
