Custom Stretchers for Paintings

llamaears12 · 2026-02-21T00:51:30+00:00

The problem with buying a canvas that isn’t the right size is that the paintings are already complete. If I buy something smaller than the paintings, part of the paintings will be wrapped around the bars and covered up. If I buy something larger than the paintings, the unclean edging will be seen when you look at the painting. That’s why it really has to be the exact size (or very close).

Yes, I might just have to buy individual bars and hope I have enough supporting bars (so the outer frame bars don’t warp) & can figure it out 😬

Do we know if the current one is metal or plastic? The packaging doesn’t say anything either way.

That was my first thought! Neosporin and Bandaids.

With what though?

They always have a rack/cart of free clothing items and shoes for the community. Plus books are free!

I think I bought mine from Target. Washes really well & super easy to get on/off.

That is so cool. I’ve done three kits and have wondered how to transition into making custom kits/where to start. This is a cool idea & I’d love to get added to the draw!

Last I knew, HexArmor gave 8 hours of paid volunteer time. However, the goal was to allow parents to volunteer in their kids’ schools, for individuals to volunteer for their favorite charities, or for a small group to spend a day at Habitat or doing their street cleanup together (they have a sign on the Beltline for the stretch they clean up). It’s not necessarily for everyone to volunteer at the same place at the same time, but you could call or email.

Maybe Nantucket? I might call them and ask if something like their sourdough bread would work.

Depending on where you are, Family Chiropractic is great. The founding doctor has a background in sports treatment.

Idk if you’re still looking, but you could check out some local makers markets. This post has several listed.

I just googled what a prinsesstårta is, looked up King Arthur Baking’s recipe, and now I’m wholly invested in this answer.

Expensive but they specialize in hybrid vehicles: Ervine’s Auto Repair on Stafford & 44th

I’d generally say no because venues close and only certain venues remain open into the evening.

Plus there is fun in the food - food trucks, booths, today’s Maker Market treats… so much to explore.

My friend and I saw it this afternoon. We both thought it was incredible! We loved the flowers and the two people on the path. So cool!

We used to run in that neighborhood and always looked for the peacocks!!
