The World of Display Easels
When you think of display easels, what do you think of? Do you think of wooden floor easels? Do you think of tabletop easels? Are you looking for something for the home, the office or for your business? Many people don’t realize just how many types and styles there are until they start looking online. Then, if they have been lucky enough to stumble across the right website, they discover there’s a whole world of display easels to choose from.
Let’s start with floor easels. The basic tripod artist’s style is just the beginning. For display purposes, one of these can be very nice for showing off your favorite painting without hanging it on the wall. By mounting it on an easel in the home or in a gallery, it attracts attention to the painting, allows you to move or change the painting on a whim and doesn’t require wall space that may not be appropriate for the artwork on display.
There are dozens of other display easels that might even be more appropriate for your needs. Light weight, foldable bifold stands, for instance, are less obtrusive than the bulkier artist’s style, take up less space and can be moved more easily.
Both the bifold and the more traditional tripod easels come in a huge range of materials. You can find them in brass, wrought iron, aluminum and other metals. In wood, you can find them in traditional pine or an assortment of exotic timbers, like cherrywood or mahogany. These are just a few examples among many possibilities.
There is an even greater wealth of designs to choose from. Some of the wrought iron display easels come in just about any whimsical style you can imagine. Everything from a rustic freeform style to an imaginative design. A wrought iron fish for holding the chalkboard menu outside a fish restaurant is just one example among dozens.
When it comes to tabletop display easels, there are just as many if not more to choose from. What are you looking for? Do you need an ornate brass stand to display your favorite antique plate? What about a copper one with delicately rendered leaves to surround a favorite family photograph? Then there are book stands, simple tripod stands, and even utilitarian easels for holding your cookbook open and upright for easy viewing.
Aside from being the perfect presentation solution, they are worthy of display themselves and some could easily stand alone as objects of art. In fact, many people consider them to be collectibles in their own right.
Now that you have had a quick look at the world of display easels, go online and check out some more of the virtually endless list of possibilities. You will be amazed!

A 21st-Century Guide To The Letterpress Business $19.95 Letterpress printing may be technologically obsolete, but to paraphrase Mark Twain, reports of its death have been greatly exaggerated. In fact,a quick survey of the stationery trade would suggest that we are living in a new golden age of letterpress jobbing and card manufacturing. Letterpress continues to grow in popularity as a hobby, and also as a specialty printing service. It remains a viable business opportunity for creative and courageous entrepreneurs, but the contemporary letterpress printer faces an entirely different marketplace and a whole new layer of practical concerns than her predecessors in the trade.Today’s printers are concerned with restoring, maintaining, and working around the limitations of aging machinery that cannot be readily replaced. They are working with digital typography, polymer plates, and fixed-based systems, in addition to traditional hand-set type and worn, antique cuts. Marketing channels have changed along with the tools of the trade, as the Internet has opened up new opportunities for reaching customers.This book offers a broad overview of the contemporary letterpress business, from the practical aspects of printing to standard business practices. The first part deals with the practical aspects of acquiring, restoring, maintaining, and operating a letterpress, while the second part is designed for those who already have some printing experience and are considering launching a letterpress business of their own. |
