[ Ссылка ] How to fix artworks onto the mat board or backing board when you have a deckled edge. Learn more picture framing techniques with our free video training...just visit the link above.
Sometimes you need to see the edges of a picture like when you are float framing an original watercolor on handmade paper or a papyrus. You can use a variety of hinging methods to fix the artwork in position. Some framers use a V Hinge but pendulum hinging through a bevel slot cut in the mat backing in a reversible technique that has a lot of uses in mounting art works.
The three common picture frame hinging methods are T Hinging, V Hinging and Pendulum hinging.
All of these methods have specific uses and it is good to become familiar with what method best suits your framing project.
Hinges can be made from Japanese tissue paper and then bonded with Starch paste or Methyl Cellulose Paste. Match the weight of the hinging tissue (often Kozo or Mulberry fibers) with the strength requirement of the artwork. Always choose a weaker hinge so that if the picture falls off the wall or gets another violent shock the hinge breaks first before the artwork is damaged.
