HOW IT'S DONE


The example below s of a 4-piece CD Plaque in a Metal Frame with a Double Mat.

The "Bottom Mat" acts as a secondary accent color, revealing between 1/8" to 1/2"
of itself beneath the "Top Mat".  Most often, this "Bottom Mat" color is in contrast of or
compliment to the top mat, but on occasion, the Top and Bottom mats are alike.

This example features 4 artpieces (CD, Traycard, Front & Back of the CD Insert), all of
which are float-mounted on an acid & lignin-free colored mountboard.  The mats then, are
shimmed to elevate the glass from the art-pieces, creating a "shadowbox" type display.
