Framing the exhibit

Once the photographs for the exhibit had been collected the hunt for frames was on.  It was important that the frames used would frame the stories they would tell.  I hunted in Thrift shops and  took donations from friends.  I was specifically looking for distressed frames, old and worn with stories of their own.  I chose a combination of sizes and shapes, wood, metal and plastic frames.  I removed the glass so that there would be no glare when viewing the pictures.  Frames were sorted into size and shape then stored in boxes.  Foam core and covered boards were attached to each frame.  Then, the fun part....pictures, artifacts and frames were arranged in groups for each story board/frame.
