So, since I had the first one made a few months ago, I've been playing with more canvas prints recently. Decided to try and have some printed up but not framed - delivered rolled up. Five prints on a single sheet of 54" wide canvas that I then had to cut out. Then I tried my hand at doing the gallery wrap framing by myself. Pretty pleased with how these are turning out!
Have done about a dozen total now, they look awesome on the wall! I plan on doing more, soon. The impetus behind ordering rolled up canvas and doing all the finishing myself was to save money. Long story made very short, so far, it doesn't look like it will actually save much if any cost. I haven't done an exhaustive search, but from what I have seen so far, ordering loose rolled prints costs about the same as getting them from Costo already framed and ready to hang. The only advantage at this point, is that I can do any custom size I want - like that 8x18 of the mustangs shown above. It's fun to do though and I'm really digging the results. But, for anything I want to do in a size Costco offers, from what I have seen, they simply can't be beat for price and the quality I've gotten from them is actually I would say superior to the other sources I have used so far.
