E-Z U-Frame-It made especially for the Transformer FlatFile
The E-Z U-Frame-It is a simple original art kit in a hang bag. The owner can hang the bag as-is or take the 4”x 6” photograph out and easily place it in a ready-made frame. The letterpressed back boarding (or “Certificate of Authenticity”) can be placed on the back of the frame or in the frame. Connolly letterpressed and signed the Certificates.
