Ampersand Duoframe with Vic Hollins

Vic Hollins discusses both ways to use the Ampersand Duoframe.

For a traditional window mount, select a frame the same size as your artwork. Use the included framing points and secure your artwork from the back of the frame to display through the front window. To float mount, choose a frame smaller than the size of your artwork and use an adhesive to attach the art to the front window ledge of the frame for a modern, floating effect.
