Framing as a circular plate does present problems and causes the whole thing to become larger as it would likely be a circle in a square frame. I can’t remember what the IOFF certificates look like - I am not an IOFF member. Perhaps another idea would be to get a photograph printed by a lab of Birdie & his daughter Kelly with the flies underneath. There will likely only be a few flies. My plan would be to take it with me on my next trip to England. I don’t think customs would be a problem. If I have access to a car, I may even be able to deliver it to his widow. I would want to keep it as small as reasonably possible.
