Can you afford a custom-made frame? Not a clue how much it would cost.........

Ues I can, that's cheap here :D like 10 bucks or something but moslty wood T_T and it's heavy. But then again I'm afraid of it getting ripped after it's in the frame because it adds pressure to the poster ;_; I've got several photos ripped over time because of it @.@ so dunno.

usagi: if you use a mat, like you do for paintings and prints, inside the frame to hold the poster in place and then hang it like a painting with the weight evenly distributed(like using wire or even narrow ribbon attached to both sides of the back of the frame), you shouldn't have to worry about the poster being torn. i've done that with some precious children's artwork on paper and had it hanging for 20 years now. moved a half dozen times and never had a problem. if you don't have glass over the print it's really necessary to have something to stabilize the paper as well as protect it. i would use a mat AND either glass or thin vinyl like in poster frames myself.

tracy: now that's a nice shrine corner. ^ ^ right now i have my paraphernalia spread over 2 rooms haphazardly, but i'm clearing out my "den" and making it back into a guest bedroom with my brother's kids' old crib for when my son and his "almost here" new family come to visit. my daughter-in-law is due to deliver a wee baby girl in 3 weeks!! i can't believe it even now!! haha, i had to write Hyde a semi-chastising comment after his "grandma" comments from Taiwan on MySpace.
