Steve, I think 645 is too small, if you're imagining as I am actually
damaging emulsion in order to produce your border.

Perhaps you cold paint a black border on white paper, give it to an
old fashioned lithographer (still uses a process camera)and ask him to
make a stack of litho films that you can torture variously with heat 
:-)  He might even give you some old film to fool with in advance, to
see if this concept leads in the right direction. 

And then you'd Photoshop it, of course.
