last minute momma

so i'm racing around now, as we got the okay to put her art display up next week. weds is the only time i can do it.

we just titled everything and made up little placards.
now to finalize setting the works up.

i've decided i'd go broke if i tried to frame everything now, so i'm not going to do that.
same with matting, because i don't have a matte cutter myself, i'd have to depend on someone else, i've got no time and no space for a matte cutter here.

soooo, that leaves me the option of displaying the works au natural, simply ensuring the water color papers don't curl, and fortunately she likes painting on canvas board, so those are done.

i'm going to apply some heavy weight board to the back of the lighter pieces and call it a day.

i don't really know what else can be done with no time or money to do it. not much.

though, i have started framing things, she produces more than i could ever frame. i finally broke down and got her a portfolio, she needs the see through sleeve things of a model's portfolio.

i don't know, i hadn't really thought it through before now.

how does it get so complicated?

i have to preserve the integrity of the works, and later i'll figure out how to take this show on the road, should it ever come to that.

peace.
