I trust my palette is still in it's place, that it still gives you the pleasure you once stated. There are 2. But I've roughly decided (thought process only) that I should have one too. Be well Mr. Picker. Thank you.
Hey, Mark. Yes, the Narmer palette is still in place and admired by all who visit my studio and office. You are the Master Craftsman Stonemason! Contact me via email and let me know what you're up to nowadays. I now have 4 novels about Ancient Egypt on Amazon and the best seller is the one about King Narmer.
@@lespicker Good morning Sir. Thank you so much. As you well know, It and I have a long history, so much so, I feel the need to do it again. I have a compounded problem however. The material itself. Quarries are fresh out of the quality slates needed. Stone stores are shark infested territory with so called "Experts". I may have to look long and far for a suitable piece. Many congratulations on your books kind Sir, my fine weathered traveller friend. It was, is, a great pleasure to make your acquaintance, shake your hand, to work for you. Please say hi for me to Narmer. A mace such as his is much needed. Best as always, Mark.
Hi Mr Picker, I was hoping to see that example you mentioned at the beginning but it wasn’t there. I’ve only gotten a few minutes in at this point so maybe it shows up later?
Les, great information and very helpful. I would suggest that you put together a short lesson plan and do a 'dry run' prior to going live. It is hard to follow your lesson with all of the distraction.
Lester - or others - what would be a good width of the Gator board so the image floats off the back, but not too much - 3/16 Board is generally what I'm finding, but it looks thicker in your video. Thanks!
Arif, thanks for writing. I picked up the frame from the "Sale" bin at a big box store, but you can get them online, too. It's a deep frame which looks good with an image that uses a stand-out backing board. I generally do not put glass in front of prints that are raised off the backing board, but there have been client who have specifically requested glass for such a mounted print.
Hi Matt. I had to laugh reading your comment. Fair enough. So, please let me know when you are available to be our editor! Lots of appreciation, but alas, no pay...
@@lespicker lol, I totally understand. You have the whole organic, non polished thing going for you which isn't a bad thing. The first few minutes is full of great material for outtakes lol. People love 'em. Well, I love 'em and I'm a person haha
@@mattsweadner8318 Matt, kidding aside, helpful comments from people like you are really important to us. I am very obviously not a polished, fast-talking performer. I like your term "organic". But Bob and I do try to improve by taking into account these comments. So, please keep it up!
@@lespicker if Bob has a Mac then have him fiddle with iMovie. It's not bad. Or try Davinci Resolve. There's a free version available that I hear is pretty decent. Feel free to give me a ring if you like. Just look up my name with photography after it.

Thank you for all your advice really appreciate your imput 😊
Hi Les - thanks again for a very interesting video - given me lots of ideas.
PS - did you know your rehearsal is also on the front end?
Thanks Lester

Thank you for this informative video. I am curios to know what kind of frame you used in this example. Did you also put glass on top?

Les, How do you adhere the paper backing to the frame? Was that a wood frame or metal. If metal how would you attach the paper backing?
There's some good info here but you guys should edit out the unnecessary parts.
