[artshow_photo] Re: Can I get a review of my proposed prices for the upcoming year?

We are cherry picking the good frames from AC Moore (like Michaels) then, using alpha mat (acid free) and acid free foam core, we put together the frame with a craft paper backing with screw eyes and wire.

We are talking about going more upscale and ordering custom moulding and custom cut glass which would of course require a raise in prices.

The frame, mat, hardware and backing alone costs me about $50 for 8 x 10 and 11 x 14, but it looks great, like something you'd see at a gallery. If anyone knows of a source to get this level of frames for less, I'd love to hear about it.
