Here are some more information for Framed Art:
You've finally bought your favorite art piece but don't really have a clue as to where and how to display them? Read on and gain some tips on how you can creatively display your art.
1. Leaning art on the wall
The wall isn't the only place where you can display art. You can simply place the picture on the floor and lean it on the wall or furniture. Try placing two art pieces of different sizes, one leaning over the other, partially covering the other one but still leaving most of the art visible.
2. Placing art on a shelf or gallery ledge
You can mount a gallery ledge on the wall and place pictures across the entire length of it. Randomize the arrangement of pictures by having some of them slightly overlap each other. Use pictures of different sizes and put the smaller sized pictures in front. This can also apply to placing pictures on the shelf above the fireplace.
3. Use creative hanging apparatus
Instead of mounting your art directly onto to the wall, use a hanging apparatus to hang your art. This can be done by mounting a horizontal bar against the wall close to the ceiling. Support your picture with 2 ropes. Tie one end of the rope to each corner of the picture and knot the other end around the horizontal bar. You can hang 2 or 3 pictures next to each other this way to make it look like a contemporary art gallery installation. Displaying art this way saves your wall from unsightly holes drilled into them.
4. Use ribbons to suspend art
Use 2 or 3 ribbons with thick widths running down half to three quarters the length of the wall. Attach one or two pictures one above the other to the ribbons and just let it hang. Suspending pictures from ribbons this way adds a unique touch to your home decor. Use ribbons with complimentary themes, like floral motifs. If you want to display art this way, use pictures that are light in weight so that they can be supported by the ribbons.
Another creative way of using ribbons to suspend your art is to use one ribbon for each picture. Fix one end of the ribbon at some point on the wall near the ceiling and loop the other end through both corners at the top of the picture. Then tie the remaining end of the ribbon back onto the main length of the ribbon. Adjust the ribbon so that the portion supporting the picture looks like a triangle shaped hanger. Just let the picture suspend against the wall like that. Make sure also, that the strength of the ribbon can support the weight of the picture.
5. Keep it all level
If you're aligning a series of pictures on the wall, draw an imaginary line across the wall to use as a guide. Use a small leveling gauge to check that the pictures are level once they are hung. To avoid the pictures from tilting to one side, stick some double sided tape or adhesive clay to the side corners to secure it to the wall.

How to Enhance Your Framed Art Work With a Theme of Your Choice-Doggie Theme
Don’t throw away the wooden picture frame you have just because the glass is missing or broken. Instead, recycle your frame to create a beautiful unique framed art design that would look great in any home décor. This is one in a series of three articles on framed art projects.
To start out, cut a piece of cardboard and mount it to the back of the wood frame large enough to cover the opening of the frame and secure it with clear packing tape. The cardboard now replaces the missing glass and will hold your framed art project in place. Next, cut, peel and stick cork finished paper to the size of your frame opening and secure to the cardboard. Note: this step can be done prior to securing your cardboard to the back of the frame opening. Then, arrange photos and embellishments by your theme of choice using double sided foam tape. Try adding ribbon, decorative push pins, peel and stick words, letters, numbers or charms to personalize your project. The main thing is to have fun with it and make it your own. Tip: Painting your picture frame to coordinate with your framed art project would also enhance your finished art work.
Supplies:
- Wooden Frame
- Cardboard
- Peel and stick cork-finished paper sold by the roll
- Photos
- Package of embellishments, or you could make your own (for this project to coordinate with the doggie photo, dog theme embellishments were used)
- Double sided foam tape
- Brown and white plaid ribbon (¼ “width)
Optional: Peel & Stick words, letters or numbers
Optional: Decorative push pins

Is modern art/abstracts framed of just hanged on its canvas without a frame?
I'm doing a modern/abstract painting as a gift for a friend, but I have seen some modern art just hanging by their canvas and not framed. Is either way acceptable?
Artist's prerogative, you decide..
