Screening for the Display Panels

Getting ready for our Garden Party Art Show on the 25th.

Today I played with some black nylon netting.  The pvc pipe/fencing display panels we made last year are a little too see-thru and I'm trying to make them less so.


Trouble is, it can't get opaque.  I'm trying for something like window screening.




It isn't perfect, but it is a bit shaded.  I think it'll help, especially if I make a point of matching frames on both sides so you don't see the back of any frames.

Live and learn.  Looking forward to this second art show.

Hi! I love your idea of the display stand. Is there any way you can tell me where you got the base that sits in the middle. I am looking for something similar for the one I am planning to build. Thanks again for the help. :)

Hi Elizabeth. 'Fraid to say there is no "base." It's just a piece of wood we put under the four poles all tied together. It did seem to need something to help stabilize it. Nothing fancy. Hope that helps.

I think showing the back of the frame isn't a bad thing. Put a card on the back about the picture and people can see how it is finished in the back. In my experience that is a selling point...
