I quite like using small canvases (to be honest I quite like using large canvases as well) to make my art and I've amassed quite a few and I needed somehow to display them better.
So I came up with this idea.
I got a sheet of plywood and cut it into three roughly A3 size. Gave them all a coat of birch Eco paint,just a rough layer. Sanded it and then added soft moss rubbed on with a baby wipe and stencilled in eggshell.
Sanded them all really well to get them really distressed and reveal some of the plywood (I'd chosen a really dark sheet from the DIY store). Placed the canvases on, knocked some nails in and voila!
The shelves have been in situ quite a while and the plywood just fits!
I really like it, I've got a couple of gaps and I can swap the canvases around as I make more or get bored of these ones!
Simple and effective, but boy do my knees hurt kneeling on the floor to work on these boards.

ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea Jo! Wish I had room for shelf space in my craftroom but you don't get many 'walls' in a conservatory, lol!
