Floater frames When you have art on canvas and want to be able to see all of the edges a floater frame would be a good choice. |
Shadow box frames Are frames that are deep enough to hold three dimensional objects. |
Choosing a Frame
The function of the frame is to protect and support the artwork; while holding all of the components together for viewing. The artwork itself can tell you a lot about what kind of frame will look best.
Frames have both a physical weight (size) and visual weight (appearance) that are both important when considering a frame. A frame that is physically too small will not be able to hold the weight of the framing components and a frame that is not visually balanced will draw more attention to frame than the artwork.
