This exciting photograph is of a pile of different size mounts and backing boards. I have an exhibition space at this years 'Sparkle' show at the Landmark Centre. This (in the words on the publicity bumf) is a gourmet food and contemporary craft fair and I will be selling mounted and framed prints and my complete range of greeting cards. I have a lot of work to do and a limited amount of time to do it in!!
Looks fun! Where do you get your mounts and backboards from?

@padlock Sorry - it's come and gone, I wasn't sure you'd enjoy shopping at a craft fair (Colin always has a 'bad back' whenever I spot one to visit)!!

@barrowlane It was hard work but I did well (I'm posting a back log of photos so they'll be coming up in November 21-23!). I use Cotswold Mounts - they are excellent, you can choose any colour/thickness of board and specify any size aperture etc. There is a minimum order which I easily exceeded but you can avoid it if you get together with a friend to order. They also have a proper office near Cheltenham so you can pick up the phone and talk to someone if you have any queries. They were very well wrapped as well - our recycling was overflowing after my deliveries. I also can thoroughly recommend DSCL in Stockport for photo printing. They have their own colour profile that you can download and they are exceptionally cheap but have excellent results. They print in a variety of sizes and I found their gloss finish had superb colour matching, detail and richness of colour :-)

Congratulations and best of luck!
