Default Where to get custom framing?

Need a large piece of art re framed after damage from moving. I don't want to pay an arm and a leg.
Suggestions??

Only place I know of is Michael's...use a coupon that comes in the paper though. Not sure what you mean by an "arm and a leg" though. I found Michael's to be pricey but then maybe they're not if it's art.

You could try Joann's in the best buy shopping center or the kings gallery in Spanish springs.

I think Joann's also does framing.

My wife, the artist, likes Michaels best but said to also check out the lady at Markets of Marion who sells frames also. A more upscale option is DK Art in Leesburg - see Dennis.

there is a frame shop at the corner of 466 and 441 on the SW corner. They do good work at a reasonable price.

The nice thing about Michaels is they have digital equipment that will actually show what your picture will look like in the frame and matting you choose.

Hobby Lobby. They often have coupons for 50 percent off framing.

AND you can often save a bundle at Hobby Lobby like I did with these three pictures I painted. I bought stock mats and stock frames. Framed them all for about $110. Their overall size is about 18" X 22". much less expensive than custom framing

Where is Hobby Lobby located? I didn't think there was one close by.

Gracie your framing looks great!! Of course!!!

The one I have will be expensive, just because is a BIG art print. I think it is 36" (or maybe 40") square. It also is matted in a very cool heavy textured mat. I am hoping I can salvage the mat and just do the frame. It is the size that is gonna cost me I am afraid.

Hobby Lobby is in Ocala, off of Rt. 200. Not hard to get to.
