@Green Witch,
Yeah it's a bad chop job. Sorry...but I was trying to illustrate.

@Bella Dea,
I was wondering if that was your editing. No harm in trying. Switch them if you can. It might make a better flow.

I think I am just going to give up for now and see if I find something later.

Don't want to settle.

It won't look that bad hanging by itself for a little while.

@Green Witch,

Soz, you don't need an antique mirror, just the frame. You can put in your own mirror.

Agree - that is what I always do. I get the mirror cut at the local glass shop. They'll install the glass in the frame for you if you ask. (Usually).

@ossobuco,
I usually go to the auto glass place when I need mirrors in old frames. They don't charge as much as the picture/frame/mirror shops around here. They're also so happy to be doing something different that they make a point of doing a really good job. They did great work on creating a bevelled mirror in one case.

@Bella Dea,
I'll be a burr on the saddle and say that I think any accompanying paintings to the strong one in the middle should be different from it, not sort of clones (not meant as pejorative - just that I feel they almost diminish the main print somehow. I might not make the art there paintings (prints) but some sort of sculptural element or, or, or...

@ehBeth,
Yeh, the auto glass place in northern california was fantastic - had mirror glass and old antique glass. But the place I went here was also an auto glass place.
