"Canvas laminate it has a lot like lines on sheet of your bed. If you look real close it has little grids that go through it, it's just a different texture it gives you a little rich look. This particular one I've done over the matte as well as the picture the one I showed you a while ago it was on the picture alone. I decided that it needed a matte so I put a matte on it I thought well how can I make that lining go over there. I played around it for a little while and I came up with a good idea and I don't know that anybody else does this process but us. This is something that took many years to figure out I tend to like, I sell a lot of it. The one thing you want to think about when doing this is that you probably want to use neutral colors so if you change the room and you don't want to keep that picture it's going to fit in the room even though you changed it some. That tends to help a little bit. This is a permanent thought it does not come off it has the UV protection as well, it's going to hold its color for many years to come it's just a very unique product."
