Hi all,
Got an interesting request from someone. They wanted a floating frame for their glass artwork. I've made floating frames before for thick canvas. It's easy to make one because the bottom of the artwork sits on the bottom of the frame and you create the effect by making the frame a little larger than the artwork.
However, with a piece of glass, I'm not sure how to hold the glass. All I can think of is to request having her solder on metal rods (think 3/16" TIG wire) perpendicular to the glass. I could then drill holes in the bottom of the frame and epoxy those metal rods into the wood. I'd have to be careful with making sure the glass and wood were flush, but I could possibly just lay the assy upside down on a flat table top.
This idea has some far fetched-ness to it. Are there any other ideas?
Here is an example of a previous floating frame for canvas for those that didn't understand my word description above.
