A medal from the Blue Nose Marathon is framed in this shadow box. The medal is held in place with a piece of archival clear polyester film (Melinex #516), cut in the shape of the medal, with ‘legs’ passed through to the back of the matboard. Even though the face of the medal has a raised design, the Melinex appears almost invisible. Melinex provides an effective, reversible, and almost invisible mounting method. The ribbon is held in place with a few strategic stitches, with the majority of it hidden behind the back of the matboard.
