I made a frame so I could put one of my Celtic knotwork frog prints over my desk. This are three layers of walnut and a piece of museum UV acrylic. Two layers are glued for the main body. The back is held on with magnets.
7cm is the standard print size for the Open Press Project (a 3D printable press) Print Exchange exhibitions. I was too slow to join this year, but maybe next time.
I made a four-minute video showing the construction.

This is so cute! And I love the pun.
Nice. Thanks for sharing
That’s adorable! 
Quite fun design and a great addition to your workplace.
I find your frog quite delightful! I have my eye on a frog print (purchased) to hang in my studio once we complete our move.
That’s super fun! UV museum acrylic…going to have to get some.
Must…resist…must not surrender…
Very nice. I’ve made frames for a few items, but because of how much material gets used up, I tend to go with a more traditional four piece frame with mitered joints on each corner.
That turned out so nice!!
This is beautiful! Off topic, but I love the way your designed your name on the back…the designs of the letters. Very unique.
Thank you! That’s an ambigram. It reads identically if you rotate it 180 degrees.
For sure! In this case, the whole frame is 14cm (~5.5 inches) square. So it’s not too bad. It used most of a $8.50USD board. I have plenty of uses for the pieces cut from the centers.
Love it! And the fact that your name can be read either direction - so cool!
Ah, nice! I didn’t even notice that. That took some real thought to be able to do that.
Great complement to your print! I have wanted to do the Open Press Exchange for a couple of years but never get my act together. I finally submitted to the Handmade Paper Exchange this year, though, so perhaps a print is the logical progression.
I’m impressed by the ambigram. I don’t know if my brain just doesn’t work that way or I don’t have enough patience to sit and figure it out, but it seems like it’s beyond me. 
Then again, I’ve never tried!
I think @evansd2 is also an ambigram…but, I didn’t take enough time to try it.
Yes, @evansd2 's avatar is an ambigram. If I am remembering correctly, @timjedwards created it and several others awhile back.
Sometimes, they are the same word both ways, other times they are different words.
I have made a few, though none particularly recently. I did a bunch where it is one person’s name in one orientation, and someone else’s name in another, usually couples I know. I used to sketch them out on airplane flights as sort of a visual puzzle. My process is to write the two components (word or words) one inverted over the other so I can see what letter forms would need to line up. Then, I start trying to sketch combinations of those forms. Sometimes stuff works better in a vertical orientation. So, I usually look at them that way, too.
There is probably a good process in overlaying the words in a vector design application to look at them the same way, then look for places the letter forms do or could overlap.
The Evermore ambigram came so quickly it felt like magic. I still have the original sketches somewhere.
There are also generators that will create them (e.g., https://makeambigrams.com/ambigram-generator/ ). I usually don’t love the results, but they might provide some inspiration for puzzling out something better.
Edit: sample generator output (since I went and found a generator anyway). I bet this could be cleaned up by hand to look significantly better.
Cool! I was wanting to work on something related to this. Thanks for sharing, I think I’ll start working on something soon!
The idea of layering them makes perfect sense (and now seems so very obvious). Thanks!
