Hello Katherine,

A while ago you recommended framingsupplies.com's aluminum frame "Old World Pewter" color #23 style 85 for alt prints. It is the perfect color for me for gum and vandyke and I have been using them exclusively. However, cyanotype just doesn't work with it, especially when I use a non-white . . more like eggshell paper. I find black too harsh and silver looks ridiculous. Any suggestions?
