I finished framing the two Kathleen Neeley linocut prints! It was pretty tricky because Neeley used 30gsm kitakata paper, which looks great, but is really thin. Block prints are normally floated, which I did here, but the overhang of the thin paper cast a distracting shadow around the print. So I carefully cut the 8-ply floater mat to the exact size of the print using a reverse bevel so the edge would not show under the print. Then I mounted it to a linen backer.
