But it's not online.  Another source is a wholesale shop for artist, gallery or museum supplies (Boesner in Germany).  In my experience frames and passepartouts became more expensive if the name of the shop or the product contains "photo".

johnwolf Posted October 4, 2011 Share #6 Â Posted October 4, 2011 Never used them myself, but I know a lot of art fair regulars use this site: Picture Frames | Photography Frames | Mat Board | Photo Storage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnwolf Posted October 4, 2011 Share #7 Â Posted October 4, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Another very good local option is Jo Ann fabrics. Wait for their regular 50 and 60% off coupons and stock up. Amazing deals on pretty good frames. Â John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted October 4, 2011 Share #8 Â Posted October 4, 2011 Dick Blick is a good source for these and many other photo supplies. If you Google for their coupons, you'll also get some additional savings. Â I buy the Nielsen metal frames, but there are other more inexpensive options as well.

stump4545 Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share #14 Â Posted October 19, 2011 i am looking for a photo frame that has a 4x6 opening for my photos or 8 x 12 opening since i print usually full frame. Â i like this style: Nielsen Bainbridge Photo Frame - BLICK art materials. Â Â anyone have any suggestion where i can find a frame like this with 4x6 or 8x12 cut outs? Â thanks for the help.

kokoshawnuff Posted October 19, 2011 Share #15 Â Posted October 19, 2011 It's pretty easy to make the Nielsen Bainbridge yourself. If you piece them together then you get the option of any color or material matting you want (available at a number of online art suppliers). Would probably wind up pricing out cheaper than purchasing the pre-made ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
