Kate's got a good idea there! You can get papyrus or bark paper for backing as well! Not that expensive and very exotic looking! Just did a print for the parking lot sale-open line-300 of 'em and I made 'em 9x12...that's a little bigger than your typical 8.5 x11 to cram more detail in them...Also,this made them suitable for matting in a 12x16 frame.....A lot of times,prints are from paintings and paintings and canvases aren't always standard size when shrunken down...It's nothing against you Mr. Slick,it's just that,while painting,prints are usually the last thing an artist is reflecting upon....At least they're nice enough to offer prints,because that's a lot of cash and time and screen/proof/color checks,and most artists would just rather be painting!One suggestion-carry a tape measure around and a list of standard frame sizes.....don't be caught off-guard! Also, thrift stores often have way cool old frames that just need a little re-staining or a dash o love and they are good to go!
