2 questions please - 1. large clear drawing covers

[Gillthepainter]

1. Does anyone know where I can get them please?
Not flimsy cello types, but the clear plastic wallets.

I've got some large drawings and paintings on paper that I'd like to put in a browser for sale, unframed, but protected in clear wallets.

Max dimensions 2ft x 3ft, which I think is A0 paper.

2. I'm thinking of framing little 5 inch x 5 inch paintings. They're linen pieces pva'd onto mdf board and painting in oil.
I've chosen the moulding for the series - in ivory/ cream. But would like to set the square painting into a cream colour soft wood panel = to look like a mount if you like.
Then measure the moulding frame round the outside of the mount setting.

No glass.

Is bolsa wood board maybe 2mm deep a good idea, which I can sand smooth and paint? I can cut the 5 x 5inch aperture out with a stanley knife, lay the midget painting into the settings.
Glue from the back with backing board and fix with tab arrows.

or is this a dumb idea? And I should buy flat moulding and mitre the "mount" effect. Does this make sense?

I'm not a framer, but do make my own frames.

Art shops sell portfolio sleeves but you will struggle to get them bigger than A1.

you can get the sleeves from printbrowsers.com (30"x40" is max size, although they will do custom sizes up to 40"x60")
