The largest pieces in this set are made up of 4 pieces of card. The media includes pencil, pastel, wine and Indian Ink. I did all seven over 2 days (coffee was an important factor). I would prefer to have all my pictures bespoke framed. I know good framing when I see it and have a friend who happens to be the worlds greatest framer. I'll cream pie anybody who says he's not. But time and cost
