A blog about making art and other things using cloth, paper, paint, colour, stitch, and all sorts of exciting techniques, some of which I'm sure I still have to discover! I hope that the joy all this gives me is visible in what you can see here.
Hi Cath, I can see you would be sad to have to contain all that texture and pattern behind glass. I think when it comes to textiles, some people are afraid of what it might look like once the dust had collected.
If the gallery is willing to arrange the framing and the collector is willing to pay, I'd say, let it be an option. Although you have yourself in the piece, it will actually be theirs. If they enjoy it more knowing it is protected, I guess it is better than them Not buying it. Or at least that is what I think at the minute! could change. LOL Sandy in Bracknell
"Letting go". It's hard to begin with, but as you say Sandy once it's gone and paid for, it becomes theirs to do with as they please!
I suppose that could be another option, to offer it for sale as you would prefer to see it, then it's up to the buyer to choose framing if that's their preference.
