    Fun piece! I have found that by adhering a piece of foam core to the back of the mounted canvas, it makes the surface easier to work on. It’s an inexpensive fix if you have a lot of mounted canvas rather than the preferred wood cradle board. 😊

    Hi! That is a great idea! I hadn’t thought of that, but I will definitely be trying it in the future! Thank you so much!☺️

    Very nteresting. By the way, Room 222 was a TV show way back in the early 70s.

    Why did you use a China marker? Why not use the stabilo?

    How do you hang the panels? Are those the flat canvas panels or different ones? Thank you

    Hi! These ones are actually stretched canvas, so I’ll wire them as I would any canvas. If you saw my bird collage videos, those are on wooden panels, but they are cradled, so they are shaped just like a stretched canvas in the back. I worked them in the same way! ☺️

    The “hat” on the left figure is a little KKK…
