Building Displays for Consignments

The house is ours now, and since my last posts, it's been one house project after another inbetween art business activities. Setting my wood working area up to work in so I can build more displays for consignments was one of them.
Having a good presentation for your art prints is important, and the only way to be sure they are displayed well is to provide your own display bins, racks and stands. Since I couldn't find any on the island to buy and budget was a big factor - I opted to design and build my own. The fold up stand in the first photo is for 16x20 art prints.

The photos below are of a stand I designed that hold small 8x10 and 11x14 inch prints. It has three levels, the top bin is for 11x14's and the middle bin is 8x10's. The bottom bin is for extras - a storage bin for the store to use so they can quickly restock a print that has sold. The consignment stores love this one because it only takes up a floor space of about 16x16 inches, and is only 4 ft. tall.
I also make my own table top acrylic display bins for prints - it's amazing what you can do with a home-made plywood "break" and a heat gun.

It doesn't take alot of tools to build your own displays, but having the right tool for the job sure makes it easy. Some day I'll post photos of the finished product the way they look in the store with prints in them, but for now these are all the photos I have to show.
