Bark Cloth paintings purchased unmounted and unframed are contained on
this page. These instructions apply whether the purchaser chooses to
mount their own artwork or have it professionally mounted:
- Always use acid-free mat board, backing, adhesive, etc.
- Double matting is suggested to avoid flattening the cloth against glass
or plexiglass. Usually a beige mat in front with a darker complimentary
mat below looks the best. - Artwork is better displayed when the cloth does not touch the mat (see
matted artwork for examples - click Southwest or Hawaiian) - NEVER use any household glue to attach the artwork to the backing
board (it will discolor the cloth). Instead, use acid-free, double-sided
mounting tape. - Always frame under glass or plexiglass to protect the cloth.
- If the artwork will be hung where it will be subjected to sunlight, be sure
to use UV protection to avoid color change. - Make sure the framed piece has a dust cover (usually paper glued to
the back of the frame) to keep the artwork dust-free. - If you run into any problems or have questions not addressed on this
page, please feel free to email me.
