(I think I approach the whole thing with discipline actually) To make it easier I call that end of the art, also art. I draw the line at things that do not save me a great deal of money - like stretching canvas. I have had other artists tell me they do this, but to me it is wasted energy when the financial gain from it is so small.<br>Matting and framing can be quite expensive to have done so... Maybe you can use the time-honored trade method for having matting and framing done. That way, you can do what you love and quilt and someone else who loves to matte and frame can do what they love, and everyone wins.<br>Displaying your art is an art in itself and maybe something you will grow to love.<br>These are really beautiful pieces. I'm still laughing at myself for misunderstanding you and thinking you were going commercial and making a ton of things simply for the purpose of selling. hehehe<br>Noreennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872694151254325663.post-6302648896241824912009-11-18T20:01:07.000-05:002009-11-18T20:01:07.000-05:00You could mount the pieces onto a complimentary li...You could mount the pieces onto a complimentary linen or twill stretched over foamcore and set n simple frames -- or have someone else do it for you. I am a great fan of people doing what they do best. I know I can do a lot, but there's no way I can fool myself into thinking I can do everything! Play to your strengths.BTW, I like Kindling best -- my favorite part is the way the big vertical black and white "stripe" plays withe the little black and white striped buttons/beads.<br>Kristin Lhttp://www.kristinlaflamme.com/musingsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872694151254325663.post-20124226580202785762009-11-18T19:48:45.000-05:002009-11-18T19:48:45.000-05:00They are all terrific little gems.
