Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Unfortunately, dinner is served. I will swing by after eating and see if you're still here.

I'll probably be in bed by then, but hopefully I'll be able to chat with you again soon.
MWAH.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Okay, so. Vaguely crafty Bitches, I need your help. I have a vast expanse of wall space in my living room/bedroom/office that needs something there. Preferably in the longish horizontal style. I was thinking of buying the pre-stretched canvases from the art store, and then covering them with fabric (thank you, Design On A Dime). Fabric would probably be a Chinese silk brocade, for lo, I am a hoor for such things. 1 ) is this going to be more of a pain than it'll be worth and 2) any tips?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Not crafty Juliana, but I'm thiking staples, and a friend. You'll want the fabric to be taut, so 4 hands better than 2?

You can just buy the wood frames that you stretch canvases on at an artist supply store and staple the fabric to them. The frames are easy to put together. My only tip is that you must own a staple gun. Don't staple yourself. (What?) You can also use some thin batting and staple it to thin plywood or masonite.
Extra wall space. It's hard to imagine. I'm thinking of taking the pictures up to the ceiling, salon style.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Staples will work. If you don't have 4 hands, one way to do it is to lay the canvas face down on the back of the fabric. Pull the fabric taut to the middle of one side of the frame and staple. Pull the fabric taut to the other side (opposite) and staple in the middle.
Work your way out to the edges, keep int the fabric as taut as possible.
Repeat for the other two sides.
That make any sense??

The canvas, fabric and staple thing reminds me of the time when I helped my friend Liz cover this thing that was essentially a cedar chest on legs. Anyhow, the fabric going around the chest part had spaces for the legs, and would go underneath the chest. The edges were to be stapled on the inside edge of the chest. Liz, who is one of the most meticulous people I know, had measured very, very carefully. When we pulled the fabric up, however, it came short of the edge by a few inches.
Liz started flipping out like a mammal. Some instinct caused me to look under the bench. We had almost upholstered the cat - when we weren't looking, he crawled between the fabric and bench, figuring it would be a keen place to take a nap.
