I found a used frame on-line that looked nice with an antiqued finish and a wood liner with a French bead. Its discovery came after I looked on-line for decent wood frames which weren't plastic molds. It arrived today, I took it apart, took the photo print of an etched leaf out and created this for it. It measures 11 by 7.75 inches and is a gel pen with color pencil drawing on heavy weight acid-free paper. Yeah, Original Jones Art knows how to pinch pennies here in northwest Austin, Texas. And it looks great in the frame.

Sounds like a great find for this cool piece. I'm the same way when it comes to frames ... and sometimes I would just make the frame myself ... wood of course : )

Artist Reply: I wanted a frame I wouldn't be ashamed to have in a show---if that ever happens again---and since I've been doing lots of drawings, this seemed a good plan, Dave. Anyway, even Ebay wanted three times what I paid for this one and theirs is glorified crap. I had angle vises, a pneumatic nailer, and an upright glass cutter at one time. Now I only have a mat-cutter and a couple of install tools. I'm going to have to show and sell it though. I've no more wall space. Ha!
