I am just returning from South Carolina. A thank you to all my friends I was able to catch up with and new acquaintances I met during my stay. It is fun and engaging to meet new people and see what new ideas are brewing not only in the creative world but also in day-to-day living.
It seems many people are open to new ideas. Looking for answers in our quickly changing world. I hope we all find the answers we are looking for.
Now back home in Ohio getting ready for my Holiday Opening next week at the Creative Underground Gallery, December 8 through the 10th from 10 am till 4 pm, and wanting to share an idea I discovered.
How to carry a large wet painting. The car was packed so I had to be inventive to make space for a large wet painting. Laying it flat on the back seat was not an option, and I had no pizza box large enough to house the painting.
It is a 24 inches wide by 18 inches tall painting painted on primed Masonite. My solution, “nail on furniture glides”. The types that you may see on the bottom of wood kitchen chair leg that help protect a wood floor from scuffing.
I had another panel the same size as my wet painting and sandwich the panels together separating them with “nail on furniture glides”. You can see by the pictures posted here that I was able to secure the furniture glides using duck tape to hold it against a non-painted panel. I did this for times. You could use more for larger panels. Then lay this on top of the painted panel. Like a sandwich. Duck Tape both panels together on the side edges and across the backs of both panel with short pieces of tape to keep both from moving or sliding in travel.
When you arrive at your final destination you can carefully separate the two panels. If there is any touch up, you may fix it then. It should only be very small pin marks. I didn’t notice any on my painting.
This worked for me. Hope it helps you out of a tight jam.
