Thoughts About Framing

For that extra, extra, look remember these Thoughts About Framing,ask the framer to give you a price on putting in a "FILLET" (a small piece of molding which fits inside a larger frame or typically, underneath or in between matting used for decorative purposes.

It is made of soft or hard wood normally very decorative, and features a flat "Lip" which can fit underneath a mat, the non-lip portion is what is displayed. When in place looks like a small size picture frame. Don't see much work framed with a Fillet these days.

BUYING TIP.Ask about it every time you go to a Framers Store that you have not used before. The idea being you will show some expertise in framing, showing I am no framing dummy, in other words I know my framing prices, whether you do or don't does not matter.  

Try it, it really works.
