Framer Found!

Today, Jim and I researched framers in the area, extending all the way to Harrisonburg, VA  and Inwood, WV.  I really didn’t want to go that far afield, so we began by looking in the local area.  There were several listed in the Winchester/Stephens City vicinity.  After calling three, none of which answered and I just got a recorded message, I finally found one where a real live person answered the phone.  As if that wasn’t exciting enough for a Monday, I really liked what they had to say, so a bit later, Jim and I rode up there with “The Woman At The Well” and her accompanying lettering, my molding and filet, and I left her with Artistically Framed, LLC.  He is a one-person framer; his only other help is his partner in the business and office manager, who also is very nice.  I put a red suede mat around that girl, and I can’t wait to see her finished in mid-September, when he estimated he’ll be able to get to her in light of his current backlog, but I’m in the que, at least!  I pray this is the person God led me to, to frame His project, and anything else I might need to frame.  Right now, I’m feeling so positive and happy about finding this shop!  I bit the bullet and invested the money into museum-grade glass rather than ordinary, conservation-grade glass.  According to what I saw there, it should really make the work pop, as if there were no glass over it at all!  I was amazed!  No reflections, no glare, still 99% infrared screened out as in conservation glass, and color impacted not one little bitty iota.  There is no other glass that can do that!  I guess that’s why museums use it…
