This is awesome! The hardest part for me and my projects is figuring out what to do with the finished product! This is such a great idea!

What a great idea!! I haven't even thought about what I'm going to do once I actually get a lot of projects done, and where I'll put them. I'm definitely going to try and come up with some clever displaying ideas, thanks for the inspiration!! And it looks beautiful, your framer did an amazing job!

Wow, this is beautiful! I'd be scared to use it too but it looks great as a tray.

This is ACE. I've never even seen a tray like that before, such a brilliant idea! I would be torn between wanting to use it and not, it's just so beautiful!

Framing here in the US is outrageous! I hate it...thinking about going to the local community college and taking a few courses...and by the supplies wholsale and do it myself... by th :zelda e time i would frame 2 or 3 pieces it would pay for itself.

Oh wow, I love it! The idea itself is great, and the finished work is amazing :D I would be nervous about spilling as well, but if it's done right, it should be safe to use. I feel inspired now. This is a perfect gift idea!

Ditto gamerwolf on learning how to frame myself, the prices are absolutely ridiculous!
Even with 40% - 60% off coupons for Michaels framing or others, is still a fortune.
I got my first couple framed, but recently I just buy cheaper frames on sale or with coupons, and put my patterns in.

I couldn't agree more! Custom framing is way out of my range right now and I still haven't framed my big Pac-Man and Galaga that are supposed to go on my gaming wall. I would have done it in Italy (where nice, upscale custom framing is definitely more accessible than here), but they're too big and I don't know how I would have brought them back to the US.

My husband expressed some interest in taking the framing class at the L.A. Community College, so I may encourage him a little bit by paying for his fees :grin:
