How to Frame Deckle Edge Artwork
With my latest launch of Geometric Art Prints, I thought it would be a great time to talk about deckle edge (or rough edge) artwork. Personally, I’m a huge fan of hand torn paper. Especially with printmaking, it can give an organic touch to an otherwise very bold piece of art.
So I’m going to break down a few framing options for this very special style of art, but really these tips are great for any art you own.
Option 1: Matted
First we have the very traditional method of matting art to get those crisp clean edges around the piece. Of course this hides the beautiful edge, only you will know what’s underneath.
Option 2: Floating
Secondly, we have the floating frame. This is where the art sits on top of a matte or foam board to show off the whole piece of work.
You can also float it between two pieces of glass for that see through look. Be sure you use acid free tape when mounting your art work.
Option 3: Hanger Frame
The final option I give you is the hanger frame option. This is great for odd size art as well, because you can purchase a size that fits the width of your art, and then the height options are endless. There are lots of colour options, from wood to metal.
One caveat to this style of framing is that your art is not protected from dust and sunlight. So you may see more fading and degradation to your artwork over time.
So there you go, my top framing choices for your deckle edge art. I would love to see your art framed, tag me on Instagram @rorylinn

ORIGINAL WOODCUT PRINT
Born from the #100daysofwoodcuts series, this geometric block print is inspired by cathedral arches. This is a hand carved wood block printed in black, non-toxic ink on deckle edge mouldmade French cotton paper. A perfect addition to your gallery wall, or a gift for someone with a love of bold boho decor.
Open edition. Print will be initialed on front.
Because each piece is a hand printed original piece of artwork, no two prints are alike. Yours will look similar to the one shown, but may vary slightly.
FRAMING
Print size 3 x 3 inches, paper size is approximately 6 x 6 inches.
Frame size is 10 x 10 inches.
If buying unframed, print can be framed matted or mounted, or full bleed. Any colour frame works with print, but recommend natural woods or black.
