• The casual viewer considers a curved top shape as just another shape – nothing particularly ornamental. They have been woven into all the decorative arts for centuries. Picture framers have ignored curved top opening shapes in matting largely because they were monumentally difficult to cut. The Wizard makes them possible.

• These collections focus on curved or serpentine top shapes, some with multiple curves or are tapered to form more artistic reveals. Some designs start with templates that form their tops with multiple curves. Other openings may be finished by adding a serpentine curved opening merged at the bottom. Variations are easy by adjusting their parameters.

• No matter how driven you are to discover new opening shapes to use, it takes time to search, experiment, and test. In these collections, all the searching and testing has been done.

• These mat design files are ready to use.
