It was $15.64. Shipping was free since I ordered the frame and Plexiglas for Kelly. If I hadn't, shipping would have been about $8.00, which is still cheaper than what someone around here would have charged me.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-5313805608880153172012-06-25T15:54:30.901-04:002012-06-25T15:54:30.901-04:00Isn't the color and simplicity of the frame gr...Isn't the color and simplicity of the frame great! I've been looking at it for a year or so. Kelly visit and my drawing of Kelly gave me the green light to actually buy one and see what it really looks like. Very rich. Ellis, (an old picture framer) even liked my selection--unlike my choice of frames on my sunflower watercolor. I really screwed that one up.

I'll end up putting something in this either for me or for family or for some kind stranger who throws money my way. Good luck on your buying trip. That's so important in the art business. Problem is buying in volume which talks a better a game with manufacturers.<br />Most artists don't have that advantage. You might with the number of prints you do.

I really prefer a window mat split into two right angles. Then it's adjustable and you can really play around extracting an inner composition that works well.

It's too nice to let it get grimy from a lot of handling.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-30753667856670930462012-06-25T08:00:27.868-04:002012-06-25T08:00:27.868-04:00Tarragon is the color from that company.

I have been wondering what kind of matting would be best for graphite and charcoal pieces, since they have so much of the paper color showing. A white or offwhite just doesn't seem right. I like the muted color here. The artwork inside BOTH mats is beautiful too! I like how you cropped the floral piece. But now I'm thinking you should get your own mat cutter...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05600673251180423439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-74603127746801666402012-06-24T19:25:59.651-04:002012-06-24T19:25:59.651-04:00Kelly looks wonderful framed.

The pastel was spontaneous and fast. I think works on paper require matting. Some oils require a linen liner. If I was to frame my Four Seasons, I'd use a linen liner then the frame. The paintings are intense and need some air around them.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-6320485585381146422012-06-24T18:10:57.453-04:002012-06-24T18:10:57.453-04:00I think so too.
