So now that my Dick Blick order has arrived, including a bunch of birch wood cradled panels, I did a little video to show you how simple this mounting technique is. It is a lot cheaper than framing, too, and gives your piece the kind of heft and object-quality of a piece on panel or canvas. So here is that video:
And here is the panel weighted by a stack of heavy books:
You can, of course, work directly on the birch panels, but I like working on paper and then selectively mounting pieces as there is a demand for showing them. They are easier to store on paper, and I feel more free to play and make a mess. I hope you find this useful!
Great video Jane. Love it and definitely will try it. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing :).
ReplyDeleteStay inspired!
Very useful information. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for that video...always fun to see how each artist does it : )
ReplyDeletethank you so much for that!
ReplyDeleteThis is really great...thanks so much! I like your generous spirit.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great tutorial...thank you. Your collage are all so beautiful = )
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea. I love the look of the wooden panels, but I always feel intimidated that I'm going to "mess it up" so this is a perfect solution.
ReplyDeletethanks for that Jane, loved it, and for am going to give it a ry
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Jane!
ReplyDeleteWonderful video. Do you then apply a sealant?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this, would love to know why you use PVA glue. I have a collage I was going to mount on a panel but didn't have the right size so haven't gotten to it yet. My tendency would be to reach for gel medium -- do you think PVA is better? I know a lot of artists like it for book binding but I have never tried it.
ReplyDeleteThanks much for the video. (Enjoyed that chicken, too!). I received one of your books for Christmas and can't wait to explore it. Love your work!
ReplyDeleteNot only is your art beautiful I enjoyed hearing the chickens clucking in the background and the dog shaking it's tags. FUN way to start the morning with lots of inspiration. Cheers.
