Amazing print! Did you made the frames in the darkroom too?

  Thanks & yes most of my printing in the darkroom finished with some form of frame lines. Digital printing is easy in comparison, P/S ‘Canvas size’ adjustments. I like adding an oversize matt when framing to show the borders.
  Use a series of cut masks held down with small strong magnets: time consuming at first, became easy once I collected several pre-cut masks.

    Cool! I saw just once such thin frames made in a darkroom.

      You can buy very expensive 4 blade printing easels (I’m sure you know) but I found in one of my books a method using masks – cheaper 🙂

      I use paper frames, but I tried to make just easy frames, not like that.
