HEY YOU do you have unframed prints?

These two shops on etsy are my go to!:

custom mat boards

Mat your art it needs it!! and mats can make your art fit and look good in a frame you already own. They also do layered matting which really makes your stuff look GOOD.

custom and not-custom frames I think are cute

This isn't sponsored or anything, these are just two small businesses I personally use all the time and have had good experiences with. If you don't like etsy, both of these have separate shops.

Framed some art today! Now I just have to figure out where to hang them. The left two pieces are from @charamath and the third is an artist who was in the merchant hall at OrcaCon earlier this year.

However, if it means the difference between repairing an existing frame you already own and purchasing a new one there is a way to fix chipped or broken edges. First, I want you to notice that on most plaster frames such as the one shown in the photo,…
