Auto Racing Flag Collages

Our shop manager, Dana, has a client whose dad is a car racing enthusiast and has a lot of memorabilia of races he has been part of. She brought in a pair of racing flags (one is a starter's flag and the other is the checkered finish flag), along with a pile of photos from these events. Dana designed a terrific shadowbox frame for each that used a 34 x 36" Gemini 3803 Charcoal cap moulding, Anti-reflective glass and Crescent 85598 Etched Black mat board onto which the flag was attached. The photos were mounted on small platforms and arranged around the perimieter. One of the really cool details that Dana designed was the black and white checkered box strips that line the inner edge of the frame all around the perimeter. She spent a lot of time figuring out how to make our Wizard 9000 computerized mat cutter cut the small squares uniformly and in large enough quantities to go all the way around two frames.

Below are some photos and details. To enlarge each one, just click on the image.
