I think she had but couldn't find anything at a reasonable price.

One of the prints is an unusual size and most places we looked at didn't sell a frame that would fit.

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
