Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
There are a few choices that you can do depending on your money situation!.

You can have custom frames but expect them to be over 100 dollars at least!.!.!.!.because with a 3 inch mat the final piece will be around 18 x 24 for the 12x 18 size!. You can then have
a mat cut and get a duplicate frame to be the same size or you can have a custom frame for that one also!.

you can purchase 2 readymade frames 18x24 that you like!.!.!.!.and still have mats only cut to size!. this will save some money and will look nice!.
YOu can also purchase raw wood frames and stain them whatever `color you like!.

The most inexpensive is to mount the artwork on mat board and then put into readymade frames!.
