<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 9546242, member: 37&quot;]Just recently framed this 80s print from contemporary artist Robert Filbey.&nbsp; Was a bit shocked by prices when I went to have a mat cut.&nbsp; The 18&quot; x 24&quot; mat was $20.00.&nbsp; The acid-free foam core backing board was $14.00.&nbsp; I do my own framing so the vintage frame was only $4.00 from the thrift store.&nbsp; Say a couple bucks for the hanging and mounting hardware.&nbsp; I can imagine how expensive it would have been had I needed a frame and had the shop do everything.&nbsp; The print, including shipping, was only about $10.00 so I am only in about $50.00 for the whole thing.&nbsp; I am not complaining but it has been awhile since I have framed anything.&nbsp; I have a lot more to do so I better start saving my pennies.</p><p><br /></p><p>What are others seeing for framing/materials pricing?&nbsp; Do you think twice when buying art if it needs to be framed?&nbsp; Do you do your own framing?&nbsp; Any tips for framing economically?[ATTACH=full]454579[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
