Hey Fritz,

Yeah, no problem. When we took the print down to him, Link showed us several different options for frames and mattes, with other examples. The quotes for that print ranged from 200-something to 400-something, primarily differing with the level of detail in the matte work. We ended up going with the middle ground, with the corner matte work, for the low 300s.

I'll say this...though it seemed like a lot at first, the print is pretty big and it's the centerpiece of our living room. We really wanted something impressive to showcase it and with the amazing work Link does (and the numerous samples we saw), I've never thought twice about it. It was worth the 18 months we sat on the print to find a great frame. :)

Now, my decision to spend $130 to frame 3 postcards in faux bamboo with a palm-style matte does make me feel a bit more sheepish. But I've said too much...
