attaching hanging hardware, and/or canvas floater frames, to wedi board panels can be a bit tricky. lynn moor, at mosaicsmalti.com, sells hanging hardware washers for wedi panels, which are an option for hanging. she also recommends gluing canvas floater frames directly, and permanently, to the wedi panel to work around the fact that you cannot screw into the wedi board to attach the frame.

if you are looking for another way to attach hanging hardware, and/or a floater frame to your wedi panel, i will share with you what i have done. i don't like the idea of permanently attaching the floater frame, and i have not tried the washers yet. click on the thumbnails to see a different way, which involves epoxying wood supports to the back of the wedi panel, that you can then screw into to attach the frame and/or hanging hardware. i also epoxy the hanging hardware to the wood, in addition to screwing,

for larger pieces, i would probably use thicker wood, or back the entire panel with a thicker wood backing board.

my 3 panel piece, etude, was accepted for the mosaic arts international 2008 juried exhibition, which will be held april 3 - 30 at the bakehouse art complex in miami, florida. this year, 180 artists in 7 countries each submitted from 1 to 3 works for this exhibition, and the jury selected 64 pieces for inclusion in the exhibition. i am very pleased and honored to have one of my pieces included. click on the thumbnail to view the full image.

i hope to see you in miami!
