Introduction

Info

  • The thought of decoration calls to mind baroque flourishes, and some framers want no part of it. This notion has perpetuated a wide adherence to strict austerity. However, this attitude ignores the fact that every aspect of the presentation—even its austerity—colors our perception of the picture.

  • It turns out that some pictures could do with a little ornament. Decorative lines—whether V-Grooves, Debossed lines, or Pen lines—are a good beginning for exploring decoration. These lines can also include Ornaments. Because of their construction, these line ornaments can be far smaller than other CMC decoration, making them more widely applicable and allowing them to be used more often.

  • The premise is that no line needs to be just a simple rectangle anymore. The program offers endless choices through Templates and their Parameters to change the details for every line. Even pairs of lines do not need to be just parallel rectangles anymore.

  • Two decorative closely spaced lines, with their overlapping, intertwined details can make lines far more interesting than they ever have been. The corner details of these lines are meant to be highly understated, almost subliminal. Experiment with the parameter settings for variations. But remember that decorative lines will be able to be used much more often when the elements are smaller.

  • Lines become far more interesting than they have ever been—and framers have another stage where they can show off their artistry.
