Alphabet photography in the office
I bought this really cool alphabet photography at a craft show on the weekend:

   

As you can see, each letter is a picture of something architectural or nature-inspired. They're each 4" x 6".

I'm planning to hang them on the dark brown wall in the upstairs office with pics of the three dogs. What colour frames would you use, given the fact that the artwork is sepia and the wall is dark brown (F&B Mahogany). I'm thinking either silver metal or light wood with a cream matte....

People that think they know everything seriously annoy those of us that actually do.

RE: Alphabet photography in the office
Okay... I just posted questions to you about some of this on your other thread...

When I was looking at the pic you'd posted I honestly thought the photos were mounted on black boards... and I really liked the idea. Why not consider that. Mount them so that there is a slight (1/4") black border... or no border at all. That way, when you hang them, they can sit closer together. I'm also thinking that matting and framing them might be too much because then there's a barrier (a visual and physical line) between each letter... this may make it more difficult to read. I could be totally wrong and I'm looking forward to other thoughts on the topic.

I'm loving these photograph-letters!

What do you think of this frame??

   

Because I'm having trouble finding frames that have four 4" x 6" pics, I'm thinking of sort of using your idea, V, and using one of those frames that's just glass with a dark frame so I can put all the pics in and not have to worry about how many spaces there are for pics, if you know what I mean.
