Photographic Prints Question

I have a question for everyone.

1) When buying photographic prints to HANG, do you prefer a border, or the image to go right to the edge of the print?

In the past I have always sold my prints with a border as it then makes it easier to have them framed within a window mount.

As I am in the process of ordering and listing new prints, I thought it would be a good time to ask.

Hello everyone!

Just thought I'd do a quick post to say hello to those of you who know me and introduce myself to those who don't.

I hand-stitch all my own designs which I then turn into greetings cards and framed pictures which I then attempt to sell online. I have been doing the cards for a while and have been quite successful on Etsy, Folksy and Misi but I have only recently been putting my framed… Continue

Just had a sale on Misi whoop!

I woke up this morning to a sale in my misi store http://Panic-Tuesday.misi.me.uk

I sold one of my cute re-cycled glass bottles which I decorated with wire and beads.

I was feeling a bit down, as I havent had a sale for a while and only ever seem to be listing items.

I have two more of these bottles, they are listed in my Folksy store http://snowqueentrinkets.folksy.com

Hope everyone is enjoying what is left… Continue
