Q&A

Julie Martin-Molyneux asks

I'm thinking of framing a few of my pastel pieces; just for me, not for sale, unless someone makes me an offer I cannot refuse! Do I need to do anything special with them to protect them? I have seen contrasting comments about if you need to fix them or not and if air space should be left between the glass and the picture.

Having not produced anything worthy enough previously I am totally new to this. Any advice is welcome.
