How to Frame a Picture/Choosing colours and styles

When choosing the appropriate surround for artwork, it is helpful to keep in mind several variables:


 * Do you need to crop the picture?
 * Is the piece destined for a single location?
 * What materials do you have on hand?
 * Will you need to re-use the frame?

And finally, and probably most importantly:
 * Will your partner agree with your choice?
