<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 9546270, member: 5833"]Some years ago now, a friend gave me a piece of her own artwork as a birthday gift. Felt obliged to get it framed. It is not big, maybe 12" x 8". A simple half-round frame with the color mottled finish I selected to coordinate with the print was more than $300. The finish appears to be sort of a skin that is applied. not brush work of any kind. They did a good job & it looks nice, but really?...! (If course very little is cheap where I live.)</p><p><br /></p><p>When I had a large pastel to frame, used a framer whose services were offered on eBay & was perfectly satisfied. Can't imagine the price if I had used the same little frame shop.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
