I like JFM frames, too, Pam, but the thrust of their inventory seems to be towards a conservative buyer who likes a "lush" frame.

I do best when I can take the painting in with me and hold it against a frame sample, but even then, I can make mistakes over what width of frame to choose. So this time I'm going to my local expert.

We have a sort of informal trade agreement - I hand out discount coupons for her shop when I do my annual event at our Christmas marketplace, and she gives me deals on supplies and frames.

Maybe you can arrange some sort of deal too. Frame shops do give artists discounts fairly frequently, I think hoping to establish a relationship so that you do business just with them.
