Sounds good David - will you post a photo of the finished frames to
somewhere that we can all see the results,

Here in Ballarat, I have a woman who does all my framing and so I
got her to make me a plain frame (about 4" square) in a silver wood.
Then she recommended an acrylic paint by Matisse which she uses to
touch up old frames. I have now made a small Toender edging slightly
larger than the outer edge of the frame so that the scallops extend
beyond it. I've glued it on and tomorrow shall paint it in gold.
Actually,I made the lace first, so that I could give the framer the
exact dimensions of the footside. The framer has cut the piece of
glass for me as well as the backing in a sort of styrofoam, so that
when I cover that backing in fabric it will simply wedge in firmly.
I will certainly be experimenting first on some old crocheted lace
first. But will be using a small foam roller with the intention of
merely highlighting the edges of the gimp. So far it's looking good.
