Brenda has several old framed pieces she wants reworked so she is taking them apart and examining what was done. There have been surprises!

I thought folks would find the process of framing quite interesting.  Even though Brenda didn't always get what she paid for, the intricacies of framing are shown well here.

UPDATE: Brenda talks about framing done for her at Michael's, which is a large craft store chain in part of the U.S.
