Bigger nicer wooden frames sometimes deconstruct with shipping and nicer heavier frames cost a lot more to ship to shows. This moves me toward metal section frames which are sturdier and lighter than more expensive types.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-66128668522648048642011-04-30T15:40:26.004+00:002011-04-30T15:40:26.004+00:00Good point!

I totally forgot to include that one although of course I know it can be true<br /><br />I do have a theory that it varies less by size than we think it does because in our heads we have an idea about how much a frame should cost.Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-63513079815962894262011-04-30T15:17:25.802+00:002011-04-30T15:17:25.802+00:00The poll also did not break down prices based on s...The poll also did not break down prices based on sizes. That will have a significant effect on price. A little 8x10 inch painting frame is bound to be much cheaper than one for a 24x30 inch painting. <br /><br />Personally speaking, I can't justify spending a lot on a frame when my prices are still so low as a relatively unknown "emerging" artist.As my prices rise, so will the amount I'm willing to spend on framing.<br /><br />Very interesting poll!Karen Thummhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09382942794813706983noreply@blogger.com
