thanks, but the purpose is really to educate.... i was in the aaron brothers picking the stuff out and left it on the table for a second... well this lady walked over and she was going to take all the stuff up to the register to buy it (including my drawing) she was really cute, it was an old lady. . . I offered to sell it to her for $300 if she really wanted it(fully framed and matted with wire hanger )... she couldnt afford that, but she took my number down just in case her son could
It is amazingly easy to get this "expensive" look without the cost...
On a further note: i used to WORK at aaron brothers as a "desighn specialist, certified framer, and sales associate"... which basically meant: 'just give it to me and ill make it look GOOD'...lol
A lot of people are blown away, they would take HOURS searching through frames and matting, but it usually takes me 5 minuits to get the right look
....
Anyways, i just wanted to let everyone know how easy it is to get a really great look for low budget (certified framing for this same style as my example would have had a ballpark cost of 300 JUST FOR THE FRAMING)
