Hi Jimmie,

I just came from choosing a frame for my most recent piece so this subject has been on my mind today.

I agree with you that the bead work tends to take away and detract from your subject. I think that type of bead work could work, but it should be a little smaller. It could be my monitor but the color of the frame looks a little too pinkish also. Will you be matting this or just using the spacers?

There are so many choices of frames, I wish you all the best in finding one that is fantastic! My framer NEVER lets me get the one I originally want and he is right ALL the time!

Good Luck,
Julie
