This category is for any non-fixed art media, such as pastels, charcoals, pencils, wax crayons, and other artwork which is easily smudged or smeared. Items in this category are usually fitted with a spacer to keep the artwork away from the glass or matboard, to prevent damage to the artwork. |

Any artwork on paper that is not perfectly flat should use this category. Watercolour, Acrylic on Paper, and similar artworks belong here. Artwork like this is usually not mounted, and is instead hinged in place to the mat or backing board, to allow the artwork to contract and expand without creating harsh creases. |

3D Artwork, such as Papertole, requires spacers between the matboards, and a deep frame, to accomodate the depth of the artwork. Mixed Media, Shell Art, and other non-flat artwork fits in this category. |
