[Scriptoris] Re: speaking of standards

I have worked in a Hobby Lobby Framing shop and know a bit about matting and 
framing pictures. 

Cutting a Mat is not really all that difficult with the right equipment.  Mat 
cutting and framing is something that could be easily passed on.  I've found 
it nothing more then a simple process with a few tricks to help get the 
professorial look.  

I think I could write something on how to cut mats and frame pictures.  It 
might take a little while, because I’m playing catch up on original prize 
scrolls, but it could be done.
