Gorgeous color combination! What a visually rich surface!! Thank you for sharing your process.
Wow! What a truly beautiful result! I needed this video in my life. Lol I’m just not willing to pay hundreds of dollars knowing I could do this myself. Thank you so much!!
I love the picture of your neighbor with the backdrop. It looks pretty fine art.

How did you keep the fabric from wrinkling when rolled up?

it wrinkles here and there but as the canvas is very robust it hangs out quite easily and doesn't show on the photographs :)
