The black Max frame is of a unique “seamless” construction. First, a panel of 1/4 in. thick MDF (a composite wood board) has the center cut out to create the face of the frame. Since the frame has not been made from cut and joined lengths of molding, there are no joints at the corners. Next, a second wooden frame is attached to the back of the MDF to create the space for the glass, matting, etc., and the easy-to-use “pivot clip” back. The frame is then flawlessly finished with lacquer. The result is an unelaborated frame of elegant simplicity, which, like all Framatic frames, is designed to dramatize but not compete with the artwork installed in it. The frames are designed to hang from holes in the clips found on the back (the clips are permanently riveted to the 1/8 in. hardboard that forms the back). In addition, the 10 in. x 11 1/2 in. and the 15 5/8 in. x 17 5/8 in. frames include a unique easel leg system for secure support on a tabletop

The Cirrus frame is a shallow (1/2 in. deep) shadowbox frame. The aluminum molding is 1 3/16 in. deep with a 1/4 in. wide face in satin black finish. It comes completely ready to use, with a warm white, 3/16 in. archival foam-core backing, clear glass that has had the sharp edges ground smooth, and removable, acid-free, 1/4 in. thick mounting tabs. Smaller sizes include an easel for table top use. Cirrus can be used to frame a three-dimensional object but it is especially useful for "floating" an image. This is a presentation where the image is placed against the backing with an allowance for space around the image not covered by either frame or mat. Since the glass does not touch the image, a mat is not required for conservation, and the edges of the image are left exposed. This adds a dimension to framing where the media--for example, a deckle edged piece of paper--becomes an object within the frame as well as the surface that holds the image. To add to the "floating" effect, Cirrus frames include acid free, 1/4 in. thick foam, adhesive backed tabs that securely, yet they are removable, mount an image to the backing, while creating a from the a shadow line--a separation between the image and the backing--that adds further dimension to your framing.

Nine master ceramic artists present their personal approaches to sculpting the human figure in a spectacular volume that's both technically illuminating and visually inspirational. The outstanding examples range from representational to abstract, diminutive to heroic. Nan Smith uses a range of mold-making techniques and precise slab construction, while Akio Takamori coil-builds a simplified figure inspired by a Vel-squez painting and Christyl Boger creates a lavishly decorated, classically formal figurine. Each featured sculptor discusses the unique attractions and challenges of his or her method, and a series of detailed color photographs follows the artwork as it takes shape. In addition, there's a gallery of contemporary pieces selected by the major contributors. Glen R. Brown, a noted writer on ceramics, provides an insightful, thought-provoking introduction.

Framatic Max Seamless Frames 10 in. x 11 1/2 in. black - 3.5 in. x 5 in. opening
Available at MisterArt.com for only $ 14.66 (USD)
The black Max frame is of a unique “seamless” construction. First, a panel of 1/4 in. thick MDF (a composite wood board) has the center cut out to create the face of the frame. Since the frame has not been made from cut and joined lengths of molding, there are no joints at the corners. Next, a second wooden frame is attached to the back of the MDF to create the space for the glass, matting, etc., and the easy-to-use “pivot clip” back. The frame is then flawlessly finished with lacquer. The result is an unelaborated frame of elegant simplicity, which, like all Framatic frames, is designed to dramatize but not compete with the artwork installed in it. The frames are designed to hang from holes in the clips found on the back (the clips are permanently riveted to the 1/8 in. hardboard that forms the back). In addition, the 10 in. x 11 1/2 in. and the 15 5/8 in. x 17 5/8 in. frames include a unique easel leg system for secure support on a tabletop

Framatic Cirrus Frame 13 in. x 16 in. opening black
Available at MisterArt.com for only $ 22.20 (USD)
The Cirrus frame is a shallow (1/2 in. deep) shadowbox frame. The aluminum molding is 1 3/16 in. deep with a 1/4 in. wide face in satin black finish. It comes completely ready to use, with a warm white, 3/16 in. archival foam-core backing, clear glass that has had the sharp edges ground smooth, and removable, acid-free, 1/4 in. thick mounting tabs. Smaller sizes include an easel for table top use. Cirrus can be used to frame a three-dimensional object but it is especially useful for "floating" an image. This is a presentation where the image is placed against the backing with an allowance for space around the image not covered by either frame or mat. Since the glass does not touch the image, a mat is not required for conservation, and the edges of the image are left exposed. This adds a dimension to framing where the media--for example, a deckle edged piece of paper--becomes an object within the frame as well as the surface that holds the image. To add to the "floating" effect, Cirrus frames include acid free, 1/4 in. thick foam, adhesive backed tabs that securely, yet they are removable, mount an image to the backing, while creating a from the a shadow line--a separation between the image and the backing--that adds further dimension to your framing.
