So, I recently got into watercolour painting. I use 11''x15'' paper. I got a few pieces done, which are now piled up on top of a shelf in my apartment, for lack of anything better to do with them. So, I'd like advice on something better to do with them! Specifically, I'd like something like a binder or a portfolio, where I could keep them safe and neatly stored, and take it out and flip around like a book to show people. But the only model of portfolio I can find at that size is $50, which seems ridiculously expensive given that all the rest of my art supplies together came up to only $100. So I'm wondering, does anyone know of less expensive options that I should look at?
Thank you!

DickBlick has a good site to get an idea of pricing for what you're after. You do have to be wary of a large mark up that a lot of store like to give to art supplies.
If size is the issue, well you might not find many that small because it's a weird size. I don't see why you wouldn't go up a size for a better price? Most portfolios will have straps inside to hold your work somewhat in place.
