Heat warning!! 🥵🔥I’ve probably moaned about command strips before but over the years I’ve seen this too often, they don’t do well in the heat, this frame had been up for 3 years but the heat has caused the strips to fail. Please use proper fixings and if you really have to use command strips use about three times the recommended amount and only on smaller light pictures if you can, and consider acrylic glass as it’s much lighter, though I hate that stuff too but that’s for another post 😁 stay safe and keep cool out there!

We all got a bit obsessed with just how tiny this frame is! It’s an antique illustration from the 70s of Paddington Bear framed in a natural obeche profile
