Pamella............. I LOVE THIS, IT'S SUCH A GREAT IDEA!
 
Hi ladies,
I just finished framing Carpe Diem and thought to post it here...

The scarf was probably one of my first Hermes purchases about 16 years ago. I have worn it several times, but have more enjoyed looking at it.

Then, I got inspired with beautiful pics of framed scarves in this forum!:love:

I wanted to have a UV shield for this one. And to show the contrasting hem, I ordered a 40" square custom frame with archival grade mats, board, and non-glare UV-safe glazing. Using a silk thread, I tethered the upper hem to the board.

At a frame store specialized in archival display for artists, materials were very affordable except for the glazing, which sure was pricy but I did not dare to take a risk. Still, total cost was less than that of one H scarf.

I'm glad with the result. And now, want to frame other H scarves too...:p

By no means is this a masterpiece. I pored over what information I could find and managed to create this page marker. My fingers are covered in Krazy Glue because it seems as if my fine motor skills never developed past age 6. :p

This thread is great! The ladies of Hermes are so creative. Right now I can only dream of a Hermes, so my felted miniatures will have to do for me. I want to try to make a Lindy next!
