I have a car, but I end up taking public transportation for everything save Target runs, heavy-duty grocery shopping, and visiting my friends that live out in Nope-ville (It's stupidly inconvenient to get to West-Town from Uptown). I'm in like with the magical built-in reading/fantasy football/daydream/reading fanfiction time. What I don't love? The guy who might be septic that sits squashed up next to me.

It's a trade off.

Would anyone happen to know what kind of bed that is? With the curved wood at the footboard? Is that just like... a modified sleigh-bed? I don't even know where to begin googling something like that.

I can't help but think that people who are saying just leave it to the professionals have never actually gone in with a bunch of art to get framed. Lucky for me, I just did! Two of those are custom framed, one of them with a double mat. Those two pieces with were framed at $375. The nude drawing (18 x 24'') is in a ready-made frame that was $60. I'm in Chicago, I don't know if this is an inflated price or not -- but it seems really absurdly expensive for three rather smallish pieces.

After that experience... I think I'll be trying to perfect my own mat-board cutting. Even if I go put down the $50 for the cutter and another $20-30 for the mat-board I'll mess up/use, it seems like a better idea.

tl;dr -- thanks for the tutorial, I'm going to try it out. Especially for smaller pieces.

I just made these with some half and half that was about to go bad. I had to cut back the liquid by about an 1/8, but it seemed to work ok. I thought they tasted pretty yummy, but my palate isn't exactly refined.
