Frame Shop

[Mike McCarty]

Mary,

I'm a pretty calm fellow, but, if I found that someone had, or was threatening to, squirt my pastel I would be in my trusty Jeep so quick it would make my head spin. I would have a conversation with them regardless.

Mary,

I'd be totally furious and take it upon myself to educate these idots - and tell them you do recommend framers to your clients so they realize its business. It should be illegal for them to do what they almost did.

[Carolyn Bannister]

I would be furious as well, I have just found out the hard way about fixatives and pastels. The painting I did of the couple, posted in the new member intros, doesn't look remotely like that anymore. I was taking it to be framed and sprayed it before I left the house. I didn't really take much notice but when I took it out of the folder at the framers, did I get a shock. They both look as though they have spent far too long under the sun lamp!! Also, all the white highlights had disappeared.

Can it be fixed?

[Mary Sparrow]

Thanks, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't over reacting. And to think everyone thinks they are "THE" place to go. I'll call them today.

Carolyn, they never actually sprayed that one, we stopped them.
