About this Make

How to make a ready to hang box frame mixed media art work.

Making a piece like this has several advantages; the main one being that the buyer does not have to buy anything else in order to display it. The others are; being free to use any materials that can be stuck to wood and if you make a mistake you can literally rip it off and start again.

My personal taste in art is for work that will look and feel uniquely handmade.
