Frames & finishing

From the begining, when i first thought  about starting apple's portrait i was clear that  it was made to be displayed & not to be locked in some folder or drawing book.
Thing is i had no idea about frames and afraid that it is going to get botched if i don't get it corrctly done. And so it actually ended up being locked and forgotten. I did search for ideas on net and could not find anything remotely useful. One day  i decided it enough and set out looking for shops dealing with framing. i settled in for the first shop i encountered.
The end result was surprisingly quite nice and it is now proudly displayed in my living room.
One thing i learned is that drawings are best framed in a bevel (i hope it is called bevel) which introduce space between drawing surface and glass covering. in oil paintings u  don't need glass at all because the material is quite tough.
And so i look towards you, old faithful ones for feedback and advice.
Please don't let me down :-)
