Wiring my canvases

Okay, so if you are going to be in any art show- you need a wire on the back of your canvas.
You may have not been taught this in school- as I was not- but it's important to do- preferably BEFORE you have made your art.
I've gotten help from a gallery owner in my town about wiring & such it was a very nice thing for her to do.
It makes it easier for potential future owners of your work to be able to hang the piece in their home.
It's hard to do until you get the hang of it but it's essential if you are going to be showing & selling your work.
You need screw eyes, wire, wire cutters & something to get the holes started on the back of your canvas.
And, remember to test your wiring to make sure your painting will stay on the wall- not on the floor!!!!
Good luck!!
