My name is Francie DeMun and I am a tapestry artist here on behalf of Expert Village. Okay,
in talking about the size of my pieces I am a bit of a revel here because basically what
I do is buy a large piece of canvass; maybe two or three yards and depending on my mood
when I am about to create one I just cut it the size that I think I am going to like.
Now what I do recommend though because this has been a little problematical, is that,
oh, this is an important part. When the canvass is done, I go to an art framer who stretches
them and mounts them on a frame (the frame is behind, it is a stretcher) but he likes
it. Your framer would like it if they were traditional size. In order words when you
buy art work, like 24 by 36 is a typical size to kind of keep them within the feet and I
just am totally rebellious there. I just do what I want to do and he kind of raises his
eye brows when I come in because that means they have to build one for me. The same thing
of course happens my wondering dragon I framed and usually what I do is I don’t frame them.
I let whoever wants to buy them decide what they want to do. Some people choose not to
frame them but some do. Then when you are going to have a frame of course, it is better
that you got it.
