I am a neophyte but want to hang some watercolors.
They don't need to be framed for the ages, in fact
I would probably rotate pictures in & out of
frames if possible; but I would still like to use
mat &c that would not damage the pictures. It is
not clear to me from CJ's catalogue whether any of
the sets or kits will do the above with no
additional parts & not too much assembly. Am I
dreaming?

our frames include everything you need except for the glass, and we carry some precut mats (also from logan) that should not cause any damage.
what is "c"?

So what, specifically, might I order to easily &
preferably reversibly frame, say, a 16x20 wc
(frame, mat, clips or whatever). What kind of
glass would I need to buy locally (dimensions &
other specifications, if any)? Sorry I am
entirely new at this & somewhat isolated (by
choice). I assume the wire &c (I think this an
archaic version of "etc") are standard hobbylobby
type items?

Please don't do the cadmium thing on my account.

hey kukana-

i already e-mailed you, but for the benefit of the site and its' users, you may find butcher paper and many other framing supplies from United Manufacturers. the phone number is: 1-800-645-7260.
oh, and try the cobalt omelette with ochre dressing. simply divine.

Hi there!
I have found Walmart has some nice frames in 8X10 and 11X14 solid wood with glass. They are a dark or light color. I don't like the color of the wood, but I spray paint them gold or black. They only cost $5 for the larger ones and $2.50 for the smaller ones. Heck you can't even buy the glass for that at Michaels!!! Sometimes the 11X14 even have a standard precut mat inside the frame. You do have to look them over to make sure they are cut well and the corners line up.
Good luck and I hope this helps!
