I'll try those pre-made stretchers and then hopefully learn to make the canvases by myself someday. I'm definitely going to try the wood panels sometime! :) Danie at Pasadyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00486187975929101967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1108791322669374831.post-63090721706594780892012-08-23T11:44:01.377-04:002012-08-23T11:44:01.377-04:00Allie....I love this piece.

It's similar to your others in it's ethereal feel but the textures and rawness [is that a word?] are wonderful.<br /><br />I have been building my own supports for years. Sometimes I have the panels cut for me like you do. Sometimes I use rescued wood from wherever I can get it and cut it down myself. I tend to be rough with the support when I paint so canvas isn't usually the best option. I have a stack of canvases wasting away in the corner of my studio that I use when I'm in a gentle state of mind. :)<br /><br />Keep up the good work and the posts. It inspires me to post more.<br />Denton_https://www.blogger.com/profile/02161574932849636549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1108791322669374831.post-52570076426618133582012-08-23T10:51:33.086-04:002012-08-23T10:51:33.086-04:00(But maybe I will do a step-by-step diy.)

Then it's just a matter of mitering and gluing/nailing the back pieces to cradle the wood. (If all that makes sense)<br /><br />Good luck!Allie Snyder | AmaryllisTruthStudiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11480938880075141625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1108791322669374831.post-67319582637508009052012-08-23T10:42:13.371-04:002012-08-23T10:42:13.371-04:00Beautiful!

I want to build my own canvases, but I definitely need something better than the sad excuse for the saw that I currently have. My husband always jokes and says I look like Bob the Builder when he sees me wandering around with a hammer anyway! <br /><br />I'd love to see the process of the creation of the wood panels!
