Matching and Identical Displays
    When making matching sets you want to avoid creating an identical display when making a matching set.

     For matching sets of two displays with the same dimensions a great way to design them is to do an opposite of the first.  This can only be done in displays with multiple colors.  If you created a display within the artifacts flip the design so when they are hung together they are facing each other.  When you create displays in a set they must be placed together.  This helps people remember them as two separate displays and the display will add a nice contrast to each other.

     When creating matching sets of three two of the displays must be smaller than the original display.  The smaller two frames may be identical or opposites.  They should not have the same design as the larger display.  When they are hung side by side they will compliment each other and give the appearance of one large display.

     Matching sets is a great addition to any collection.  They are fun and challenging to create and are a great way to tie in artifacts.  Matching displays should be in identical frames or shadowboxes.

    The last display you created was the talk of the town.  The color, arrangement, and frame just came together better than even you expected.  It is now time to start a new display, do you make an identical one?

     I would advise you against creating another one that is the exact same.  By doing so people wonder about your creativity and originality.  This are the things that make your collection stand out from everyone else.  It will also make your collection seem smaller because both frames will be remembered as the same one.

     There are some things that you can do to have matching sets without having identical displays.  This is a great way to display your collection.  You should have no more than three matching display in a set.
