This has been a big week for me. Oversized even 
Customer brings in a print to re-frame. The print is 25x44 and she wants to mount playbills and ticket stubs on either side... final size is 40x44. (My assistant actually did the original design as 43x44, but then we found we could only get the desired mat in 40x60). This is the biggest frame I have ever built in my current workroom...
Oh, and the same customer wanted some velvet (that she provided) mounted to foamcore. Final size: 36x72.
The same day that this customer picks up her pieces, a customer comes in with a print that's 36x48. Straight mount, no mat, so final size is no bigger than that, but still...
Then I go home and turn on "Ace Of Cakes" and see them working on one of the biggest cakes they have ever worked on... a four-foot tall replica of a Milk-Bone dog biscuits box. It was so big they actually had to build an "exoskeleton" for it so they could turn and manipulate it while working on it...
Anyone else spotting a similar trend?
