  • Artists Need Quality Picture Framing Supplies  By : Susan Slobac
    The first problem artists have when framing a picture is how to connect the artwork to the mount board.

Instead, many artists overcome this hurdle by using corners. They are small, and made from acid-free products so that no damage comes to the artwork. The photo or picture fits into the corners, and then the corners are attached to the mountboard, allowing for easy removal of the art anytime you wish. They are completely hidden under the mat, for a professional finish.
