Quote from DKult Member Meeah Williams

"If trashpo has taught me anything its that every windblown street corner and cyclone fence is a veritable Dick Blick of free art materials."

Comment by Amy Irwen on February 29, 2012 at 7:37pm: I love that hanging idea, but I'm with Erni...doesn't look like they are Hung from a line bcuz the hanger heads are to tight to the wall..
Mystery..

Comment by Jennifer Jones (JJalltheway) on February 29, 2012 at 7:22pm: Angie, I LOVE me some add and pass. Put me on the list, please.

The hangers are indeed great, I also like the clothesline effect for displaying MA.

Comment by Alicia Starr on February 29, 2012 at 7:17pm: Nancy, if you could suspend the hangers from the ceiling with clear fish line and varying heights, wow , even without the hangers, the MA would hang to expose all sides. Thinking about an exhibit of everything i've received too. We have a gallery walk 4+ times a year. The post office would be a perfect venue, but i can only imagine the red tape.

Erni, is this exhibit of an old clothing store/factory? Wondering how the hangers are adhered to the walls.

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on February 29, 2012 at 6:56pm: Oh, that idea, Alicia, is exactly what I need, and you all will become famous because of it. I want to hang received MA in my storefront windows, but they're so tall, and I don't want tape on the MA. The hangers will do it! Was just at Goodwill this morning and will try to get back before the snow hits.

Comment by Alicia Starr on February 29, 2012 at 6:22pm: it is an old trousers hanger. We have Goodwill stores here in the states. Gold mines i tell ya.

Comment by DKeys on February 29, 2012 at 5:13pm: I love that Alicia, I would never have thought of that and it would make a great way to display an art exhibit!!

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on February 29, 2012 at 4:07pm: that's hangin in thar!

Comment by Alicia Starr on February 29, 2012 at 4:04pm: DK, what do you think?

Comment by Amy Irwen on February 29, 2012 at 3:28pm: Hi Angie...I'll take add and passes *!*

Comment by DKeys on February 29, 2012 at 2:27pm: This is incredible Angie--very right brained and visually explosive!!
