Thanks Kathy. Yes this piece is quite large. It was my first and I am very inexperienced and didn't know how much was involved. I did some frame shopping though so soon I hope it'll be done done :)  Post time 2013-9-29 05:52

You'll have to tell me how it looks once you have framed it.  Post time 2013-12-3 04:47
