Canvas Giclee Art Reproduction Hardware

Video Transcript

"Hi. I'm JK Dooley and I'm a professional artist and we're finishing up our segment on stretching our giclees and the last thing you'll need to do is if you finish off your piece and you have the nice backing on it, obviously when they take it home and they're ready to hang it on the wall they want to have the right hardware to do that so it'll go right on the wall for them. I prefer these D hooks like this because they don't stick out of the piece so the piece will hang up nice and flush with the wall, and they're small pieces, small ones like this for smaller light weight pieces. You can purchase really big ones for bigger, heavier pieces, and then you'll need your wire, and obviously you'll use a smaller gauge wire for small pieces, and a really heavy duty piece for a large, heavy image. So finish it off, go ahead and attach your hardware here, and then I always tape off where the wire is wrapped around each other because there can be a sharp edge sometimes and that's kind of uncomfortable if you run your hand on it. So it makes for a nice finished piece, ready to hang on the wall, and makes the piece look and feel a lot more valuable as well."
