Re: [artshow_photo] Re: signing mats/frames? Canvas?

Jim,
How do you make editions of your canvases? Do you print them in various
sizes and if so, is each size a different edition? Do you number up or
number down? Meaning, is the first sold number 1/100 or 100/100?
This is something I've been pondering for some time.
Thanks.
Dana
