I've Been Framed
Hi all,

Thought I would say hello in the Corner Cafe as it is my first time to post on the new format and I have already posted this in the Framer's Questions but wanted to cover all the bases.

I am searching for two 32 x 40 sheets of a discontinued Crescent mat - Moire Silk #7208 - color is a deep purple called Amethyst. I had a small piece of this left from a job years ago and am looking for it to do two large shadowboxes. If you have any in your inventory or know where else I could look, please let me know a soon as possible.

Thanks,
Phyllis Autrey, CPF

Unless you are trying to match an existing frame, I suggest buying a similar fabric from one of the established sources of framing fabrics, and gluing it to a matboard yourself.
 
Thanks Jim. That is what I've decided to do and had already suggested that to the customer because I figured I would not be able to find this mat board. It's been gone too long.
 
I actually had a small piece of that board in my "private stash" until I used it recently.
I remember at some point all the original moiré fabric surfaces were replaced by ones that looked more like faux woodgrain. At that point I dumped all those samples.
:cool: Rick
