[artshow_photo] Re: Rules clarification -resale

Thanks Micheal - that's what I THOUGHT you meant.

Steve - so you would put a 8x12 image in a 12x18 mat? I was looking at Clear Bags and 8x12 into 12x16 seems the way they go! Always looking for suggestions - I know Hobby Lobby has many frames for 12x16 (just came from there). Oddly JoAnne Fabrics have nice frames for 8x12. Weird. Except it takes like an hour to chack out!

I really dislike 11x14 as that size seems so claustrophobic - tried that ratio and I just feel too squeezed.

NOT THAT THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THEM!!
