I have to add a "me, too." When I was a kid, I used to complain about the fact that art galleries do not use glare-free glass and sometimes I had to twist my head around to find an angle where the track lighting wasn't bouncing off the glass into my eyes. When I asked my mother (art historian, painter, and photographer), she told me that fine pieces should not be framed under glare-free glass because the light frosting on the surface obscures the detail. If you go into art galleries, you'll notice that they use regular glass, not glare-free glass.
Avital ----- Original Message ----- From: "Clay Blackwell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I'd like to offer my two-cents on the subject of non-reflective glass. While it might reduce the glare, it definitely cuts out detail. If your lace is fine, you may have difficulty seeing it as well as you would want - particularly if you're planning to show it. Glare-free glass works very well with commercial prints and in areas where there is a lot of light from overhead lights and big windows... but if you're framing fine art (photographs, drawings, etchings, watercolors, or fine handwork), you really should use regular glass. It is better to hang these ""good" pieces (as opposed to commercial decorative stuff...) out of direct light anyway, so that glare should not be an issue. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
