When I had to frame a show for somebody back in the 80's, I bought the cut frame pieces en masse from the area's largest shop, and sourced the glass from a large distributer - It cut the price down to a third the cheapest quote from a framer, and it only took a evening with a flat-blade screwdriver.
...and in the end, she turned a profit on the show because of it. Probably not something you need to worry about(since you actually have talent.), but worth thinking about.
