Helz Hi Miranda

I rarely frame paintings, unless they are commissioned pieces, so I put nearly all my artwork in portfolios. I have some pieces hanging around home too!

Jo Hi Miranda

Sorry for the late response. I haven't been on the site for a while! I mount all mine and store them upright, stacked between the legs of my painting table, so that they act like bookends. If you buy mounts which come in cellophane, the paintings are well protected (or you can buy cellophane bags to fit). I put an ocasional piece of cardboard or hardboard here and there for extra support.

Kind regards

Jo
