Although only one of the four chapters in The Art of Framing focuses on the actual craft of decorating frames, serious crafters and anyone interested in the use of framable objects in home decor should consider investing in this deluxe volume. More than 250 color photos document the history and art of framing, wonderful ways to create effective displays of framed items in the home, and how to decorate frames and mats with specialized treatments (faux finishes, gilding, craquelure, veneers) and decorative effects (stenciling, combing, painted motifs). The section on framing objects and ephemera offers unique ideas that crafters can adapt to show off their other creations.
