Art Framing
 

Seeking recommendations for custom art framing

If you can find prints that you want online, ART.com does an excellent job of framing for about half the price of a local shop, with hundreds of frames and mats to select from.

I often wish I knew how to wood work and miter....enough to make frames and be precise enough to cut mat board. I rarely pay Michaels or Hobby Lobby anymore and try to find frames at Walmart or other online sources and couple them with already cut mat board.

I often wonder why someone doesn't sell more sizes and colors of pre-cut mat board. I know a lot of people who paint who would love that.

We used DK Art Supply and Custom Framing, 9910 US Highway 441, Leesburg phone
352 326-9555.

Lots of places to buy mats on line, both stock & custom...here's one: Matboard Plus | Mat Boards - Photo Mats - Clear Bags | Free Shipping

It is like anything else. You can buy the equipment and learn to do it yourself or pay someone else to do it.

I just had a beautiful painting done of one of my dogs and wanted custom framing. I went to Framemaker's Gallery in Leesburg. I was extremely impressed with their frames and matting. The painting will be triple matted, custom made frame and museum quality glass. Lead time is about 2 weeks.

Kings Gallery in SS did a great job, but they are a bit pricey

I second frame makers in Leesburg. Great service. Caring folks.

There is a huge booth at Marion Market that sells prints and does custom framing. They did a flawless job, at a very reasonable price, with my artwork. They were helpful and knowledgeable.

It is hard for me to pay fifteen bucks for a thin piece of poster board-like stuff.

I don't sell my stuff, I give it to friends and I like to give it to them matted.

That is very good to know. How much do they charge for a simple framing with mat for say a 16X20 picture?

Michaels

Michael’s on 441 and Rolling Acres does custom art framing. I’ve had a couple art pieces done there and they do a good job, although a little pricy

I have some beautiful frames that were done by Michaels.
the people there really know how to showcase the artwork
