I’m working on some new ways to work and display my work on paper. I’ve mounted some heavy duty Arches cream paper on cradled wood panels. I used archival glue and a brayer to apply the paper and get all the air out from underneath it. What a soothing process. And I love the way that they look. I almost don’t want to paint on them!
I’m working on these smaller ones (6×6″ and soon to come 10×10″) for the December 2nd ArtWalk Gardiner. The larger ones are 8×10″ for the 8x10x80 show at the Harlow Gallery.
Today I’m going to paint on them and see what comes to light. Working on some utilitarian items, too…next post! 🙂

What's your formula for glue? I collected one earlier this summer (gotta check my notes to see what it was), but mounting paper onto the frame is an awesome idea! Sure beats framing costs!

I used Lineco's ph neutral adhesive. I have been using it for a long time to attach my business cards to the back of my wood panels and it works extremely well. I originally purchased it for mounting paper like this but never got around to doing it! It's a PVA adhesive:http://www.dickblick.com/products/lineco-neutral-ph-adhesive/?wmcp=google&wmcid=products&wmckw=17314-1007
