Grooviness

Mom and I took my two bigger Marrus lithos to a framer today. The initial person she took me to see (his business is strictly framing) was out of town today. We did a 180 and were headed back to the van when Mom said, "Let's see about this place." This place was a photography studio next door that also offered framing services. I'm so glad framer #1 was out of town, because Mr. Mann was AWESOME. He really took the time to help me pick good frames for both my pieces, pulling down at least three options for each. For "The Marriage of Heaven & Earth," we decided on a dazzling electric green metal frame about half an inch wide. For "Churchstream," we picked a medium-toned brown wood frame about a quarter of an inch wide with gold undertones. Before I went in there, I would've bet money that I would NOT put "Churchstream" in a brown frame since it is abundantly brown, but the frame he showed me surprised me with how well it shows off the limited edition litho. I also made sure to get conservation glass so light doesn't damage the prints' colors. Altogether I'll spend around $150 plus tax for the framing, but I think it'll be worth it. I should have them back in about a week.
