Wow I know this is a dull one but does anyone know anywhere in town I can get picture frames, most likely custom built, to display some sick paintings and stuff that I have been accumulating since getting to SE Asia?
If you do have info on prices etc. that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

There is 3 or 4 around the south east corner of Huashan Xi Lu and Tieju Lu.
Thanks @atomic - my geography is very bad - where are these places? Any landmarks I would recognise around there?
Huashan Xi Lu is the Street running behind the Green lake Hotel which is situated on the East shore of the Green Lake.
The Tieju Lu intersection is the first crossroad past the back of the Hotel as you walk South.
there is a gallery - 艺林 - at the corner of 人民中路 and 五一路 a little bit toward east. they are quite ok, but you can make the frames everywhere and the prices vary depending on the frames. I paid for mine (20cmx17cm) about 20 RMB for one.
Cross-stitching is a favorite pastime for the local women. Any "large" shop that sells cross-stitching will do framing. :-)
Thanks you guys - much appreciated!
