Matboard

When custom framing, mostly it is necessary to create some separation from the art and the frame for the perfect effect. Matboard is used to add this separation. It is made of thick cardboard and its color supplements or highlights the picture. Because matboard is paperbased and usually used for framing works on paper (print, copper engraving, photo, aquarelle etc.), glass is added to protect the finished work from external influences.
There is a solution for arts which matboard and glass are never used for, for example oil painting or relief. In this case, liner is used between art and frame. The liners are narrower than the frame and are made by painting a wood frame or wrapping it in fabric. Linen liners have been used for centuries for oil paintings.

Thicking

Aug13

Ticking is a cotton or linen textile that is tightly woven (sometimes with a twill weave) for durability and to prevent down feathers from poking through the fabric, and used to cover mattresses and bed pillows. It commonly has a striped design, in muted colors (grey, blue, brown, occasionally red or yellow) against a plain, neutral background. It is no longer restricted to a utility fabric and has found uses in interior decorating. It is often used e.g. for furniture upholstery, cushion covers, curtains or tablecloths.

Leather types

Aug6

Quality leather types which are also used as upholstery:

Nubuck: cattle leather that has been sanded or buffed outside, to give a slight nap of short protein fibers, producing a velvet-like surface. It is resistant to wear but hard to clean.

Morocco: high-quality goat skin that is tanned with sumac and than dyed

Patent leather: after preparation, the leather is coated with a lacquer which gives it its high-gloss, rather hard and waterproof surface
