<DIV>I'm not only ham-handed, I'm terrible about math and both bleed and scar
easily; so in Phyllis' situation, I would make my small paintings in standard
sizes, for which you can easily buy mats. For anything that needs a custom
mat, I go to a framer's and have them cut one. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My hat's always been off for anyone who can cut mats and/or do their own
framing. I've tried it enough times (for a long time, I was lucky -- my best
friend had a shop and decided to add framing to the business, and she was born
for it, and tried to teach me) that I've decided cutting mats is among my many
limitations. Sigh...............</DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi, Phyllis.<BR><BR>Might I suggest that you consider getting a
mat-cutting kit and cut your own. I am not only a mechanical dunce, but I am
also incredibly ham-handed, so if I can do it, anyone can. Not only that, you
save a pile of money.<BR><BR>Once again, Louise, many thanks. (It was she who
sold me the mat cutter)<BR><BR>cheers<BR>pat<BR><BR>Phyllis Mcdonough wrote:
