Other online art supply stores also offer the Nielsen frames, but these two seem to give you far greater choices. These frames are sold as "frame sections". For one size, you receive 2 sections of the same length, so when you place your order, you order one for the length and one for the height. When you receive your order, four pieces plus the hardware that allows you to construct and hang it will arrive. You will need a piece of picture wire to string from one side of the hanger hardware to the other. They will also provide the right size mat and the Plexi Glass (I recommend you get an acid free mat to protect your work).</span></span></div></div></span></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div></span></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><a href="http://www.americanframe.com/"><span><br /> </span>http://www.americanframe.com</a></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Other online stores that carry Nielsen include MisterArt and Amazon.com, etc. You could also order parts from your local frame store, which would give you the opportunity to see some of the frames in person.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">
Plexi Glas can be purchased from your local hardware stores, from glass suppliers (like Maryland Glass) and from plastic stores (like Annapolis Maritime Plastics). You can have the glass or plastics folk cut it to size, but some of the hardware stores will not. However, Plexi Glas is very simple to cut by scoring it carefully with a utility knife, going back one or two more times with more pressure and then snapping it at the cut. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">
If you have purchased a piece that does not have a mat it is because I like to “float” larger works on top of mat board (also available from Dick Blick or any framer). I make hinges from linen tape to hold them in place before placing them in the frame. <o:p></o:p></div>
