Picture Tape [socs]

So I’ve decided to keep my paintings, even if I hate them, at least for a while until I run out of space. Not a worry at this point. I’ve been putting them up in my bedroom to add some color and excitement to the place. But, you ask, how exactly are you putting them up?

Good question. I normally hang all artwork with nails in the wall, but I’m planing a lot of paintings, which would mean a zillion holes. I tried picture tape in the past, and it did not work well, but those pieces were heavier. A couple years ago I bought some Mixtile art, and those products came with tape. They’ve held up well, so I figured to give the tape another shot for my very lightweight new art.

It’s kinda weird though. Five canvases that are 8×11 are totally hanging on the wall, but I cheated with those because their bottoms are resting on my top window ledge. Down the side of the wall, next to the window, I put three little pieces, 8×8. Two are fine, but one keeps flopping down. I changed the tape, but nope, still floppy. Used double, nope. I put new tape in different spots, and still nope. Wtfff? I’ve wasted eight tapes on this thing!

So, today, it gets nailed.

The naughty painting is on the right.
