krusty, there's a gray area between shitty Target frames and custom frames. Try online. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 10:54 17
- I think she had but couldn't find anything at a reasonable price. - krusty Jan 5, 10:58 16
  - Can you mat it to make it a standard size? -- nm - Amy Jan 5, 11:04 1
    - The 11x14 wasn't an issue, just expensive. The other one was an odd size and nothing would fit with or without matting. - krusty Jan 5, 11:09
  - I bought 3 posters in Venice at an art museum, and spent 5 times the cost of the posters getting them custom frames. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 11:02 7
    - this isn't unusual. I think it's so worth it, though. -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 5, 11:04 6
      - Yeah, I dragged them back from Venice b/c I loved them, and I still have 2 of them hanging in my home. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 11:06 5
        
        also, a good framer is as tough to find as it a good tailor. I would never get anything framed online. -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 5, 11:07 3
        
        Agreed. for online buying I mean prefab. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 11:08 2
        
        anything I care about, I would not prefab. I have two 5 x 7 photos that I'm spending way too much money to frame. but I love them, and I want them to - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 5, 11:11 1
        
        heh, I prefab most of my paintings. nothing wrong with it. Lots of people do. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 11:12
        
        if you want to protect/preserve them you have to do it right. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 11:06
  - well, then maybe you need to change your idea of "reasonable." ;) - loosilu Jan 5, 10:59 5
    - I think the people who make prints are in the pocket of the frame makers. - krusty Jan 5, 11:05 4
      - yeah, that ticks me off. Almost every poster at the National Gallery is non standard. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 11:05 3
        
        I got them from MoMA, if they offered it framed I would have just bought it that way. But..nnnoooooooo. -- nm - krusty Jan 5, 11:11 2
        
        what are the paintings? -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 11:12 1
        
        Two different Lichtenstein prints, "Masterpiece" and "Oooh...Alright." -- nm - krusty Jan 5, 11:22

- LYC: I have friends in Augusta that do this every year for the Masters and make very good money. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 5, 10:55 1
  - who knows, maybe supply exceeded demand. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 10:55
- How much were they looking for it? -- nm - Loyola Jan 5, 10:51 4
  - don't know exactly but not outrageous. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 10:52 3
    - Maybe because it's not like a sports/music event. You'll end up standing beside a road half a mile from the "action" -- nm - Loyola Jan 5, 10:54 2
      - oh, yo'ud be doing good to get that close without a ticket. Some tickets are that far. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 10:55 1

    - never mind. - Mel Profit Jan 5, 10:48 1
      - Bad morning? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 5, 10:57
kare...if only your friend would put herself in your shoes (as you're doing with her) you wouldn't have this issue. - Jim Jan 5, 10:46 22
- totally agreed. I used to be like kare's friend (but I hope far more polite). but then I decided to change perspective. - loosilu Jan 5, 10:51 20
  - i was single for a long time and had flashes of "i want that" at times. and i worked my *ass* off to never let it show. you know? - kare Jan 5, 10:57 17
    - it's tough to be a single person in a crowd of couples, it really is. - Andie Jan 5, 11:03 15
      - the last person I knew like kare's friend took it so far to sabotage relationships of her friends. it was horrific. -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 5, 11:21
      - It's the main reason I stopped going to my brother/sis-in-law's gatherings. - lame-o kelly Jan 5, 11:05 13
        
        the thing is i really enjoyed being single, i never really felt like it was a bad thing. but somehow (and i KNOW it's not intended, ever) a roomful - Andie Jan 5, 11:07 12
        
        there were other singles at this gathering, but i definitely know. i've been there more often than not. and she knows this too. -- nm - kare Jan 5, 11:17 5
        
        do you think it's more than just singleness? Maybe you were her Single Buddy, someone she commiserated with? -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 11:20 3
        
        I'll say it. Some women just want their friend's man. - con_carne Jan 5, 11:22 1
        
        oh no. she has a list of qualities she's looking for. he doesn't meet several of them. -- nm - kare Jan 5, 11:25
        
        there's that dynamic too, yes. though she imagined we did more than we actually ever did. - kare Jan 5, 11:21
        
        oh, if she wasn't the only single person there then she REALLY has to grow up. -- nm - Andie Jan 5, 11:19
        
        yeah, it sure can. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 11:08
        
        I just hit on everyone's guys. - Amy Jan 5, 11:08 1

    - does the hotel max have vacancy? -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 5, 11:01 1
