I bought DS a jigsaw for Christmas ( still a work in progress , 1000 pieces 70 cm by 49 cm - ) but it has afforded so much relaxing pleasure so worth every penny & it wasn't terribly expensive.
I did say to DS it would be nice to get it framed - he agrees - the picture is lovely - a ship of the line at the time of Trafalgar - bit like the Victory , sort of looks like an oil painting) . Now This is not to pretend it is an oil painting but just something DS could have and more to do with just thinking he did it - I helped but I was very much the sous jigsaw puzzler )
So before I start - this idea of the framing came later . The jigsaw was started on the kitchen table. I know had we thought it through we should have started it on a proper sized board. But We Haven't. Important for suggestions - but I will accept any criticism for lack of forethought.
I have thought about getting something v thin and trying to feed it under the jigsaw. But ( & I am not spending a lot on a frame ) I haven't got anything v thin to do that , I think something from a cardboard box would too thick with & then I am assuming it will have to be turned upside down to make the picture go behind the glass. But how to do all these things without the whole thing falling to pieces. It would be impossible to repair from the back IYSWIM.
Am I on a hiding to nothing here or does anyone have any blinding ideas ( apart from , obviously , I would not start from here ) . 😊
