Help with Frame (Puh-leeeeeze!)

[jillybean]

Hello. I was put in charge of finding art for the restrooms at the place of my employment. My boss fell in love with one print I chose and I now need to frame it. I was told to just buy a cheap poster frame at Michael's or Jo-Anne's for under $30. With the 40% off coupons they feature in their ads, I figured this wouldn't be a problem. HOWEVER - the print is the unbelievably annoying size of 24 x 32 (NOT the standard 24 x 36). Has ANYONE seen a cheap, black poster frame in this size? I can't really order one on-line or custom-order one as I've been put on such a tight budget.

If worst comes to worst, I'll simply buy the print back from my employer and start from scratch.

Thanks in advance for any and all advice!

How about doing a mat?

Would anything be lost if you trimmed the edges of the poster?

Is it possibly for you to find a picture online of the print you chose? It might be easier to make some recommendations. Does the print have excess white space around it or is the print the entire poster?

Great idea. Unfortunately, it's one of those where the picture is in the center of a white background, with the name of the artist and piece below the picture itsef.

I know - it's futile, isn't it?

Jillybean, I would just take it into Micheal's and ask them what the possibilities are.
