I need to get this one reframed so bad:
Unfortunately, when it’s hung up, it comes undone at the top of the frame joints.
It’s my magnum opus along with the rest of its project, and I love it so much.
That is a gorgeous photo, and that's a nice lightweight frame! That means that there are a few fixes you can try at home:
Of course, getting new frames from thrift shops is always a decent solution. Or, if you feel like it's worth the cost, consider printing it on canvas or metal. Lots of local print shops will do this in-house now.
Some of my works I’ve put on canvas ended up being a bit washed out and deprived of a whole bunch of little intricate details, I’m more of a gloss-and-frame kinda lady.
Eventually I’m gonna have to get it reframed right, cause I plan to get the whole project in an exhibition at some point in the future.
(And there’s me, briefly fantasizing about seeing, on the door of a gallery somewhere, ‘Matsuri Machi,’ by Tanis Nikana. A girl can dream.)
If you want a quick fix before reframing, you should be able to fit some small angle plates (screwfix - angle plates) to the corners for a bit of reinforcement. I'd suggest doing the other corners in the same way.
You can put a little sticky felt bumper pad on the back if you want to avoid the edges of the metal scratching the wall.
Ooooh. That’ll save the day! Thanks!
Now I just gotta trick a friend who has motor skills into coming over and helping me out. I think I can bait that trap with pizza. :D
I totally meant to add angle plates, or corner braces if you're nasty, to my list and forgot. Thanks for including that!
