This might sound horrible, but does anyone think I could get away with buying premade mats and then fabricating the backs myself? I wouldn't mind cutting the mat board if I didn't have a phobia of razor blades.  |
I'm not sure if you guys have Blick Art supplies stores around PA, but you can buy individual mat boards. They also have this: hhttp://www.dickblick.com/categories/matting/ where you don't have to get near the blade.
Also Aaron Brothers has prefab mats that can be bought individually, you just wont have the flexibility of a different crop.
hope that helps
