Hi All.

Until recently I was content framing my own photos, etc. But I just got a large print that needs to be properly framed (it is 18"x24"). Not sure how to budget for something like this. Will prob get the non-reflective Acrylic glass.

Anyone know of a local shop in the Boston, MA area?

You can just go down to Hobby Lobby and buy a frame for $15-30 (remember the prices are generally 50% off).

you can take the T, you just pay for the mats and do all the work yourself, they cut the glass/mat and frame to size and have rooms for you to put it all together and they will help you if you need it

its cheap as hell also, IIRC last time i was there i framed 6 16x20s for like 50$

Custom frame shops are always expensive.

I would stick with Hobby Lobby as well.
They will do custom framing, but if you can, get a standard sized frame for super cheap.

Thanks Anubis, YOU DA MAN!! I work in Brighton, which is pretty close so I'll go down on Friday after work. Not sure about the prices, but I do love the fact they let you actually make them on your own...

(BTW, are you the same anubis from UT2003 fame?)
