The Kiss By Gustav Klimt (square) - part of our Fashion and Figurative Wall Art RangeAside from our rolled canvases, your 100% Australian Made artwork will arrive to you ready to hang on your wall, each canvas features strong wire on the back. Our acrylic prints are ready to hang using the cutouts on the back of the print and can be hung in up to 4 orientations – great for abstract prints!Stretched Canvas Wall ArtPrinted using the giclée art method using state of the art latex print technology, our stretched canvas wall art is fade and scratch resistant, as we use archival inks that can last up to 80 years (provided you keep your artwork out of direct sunlight).Our stretcher bars feature a 36mm thick frame and are made from strong woodcraft materials that keep the shape of the product for years, and their edges are beveled to ensure there is no ghosting. Further, the canvas that we use for our wall art is 100% thick bright white polyester to make every image the sharpest and brightest it can be. As our frames and canvas material we use is water-resistant, you can also place this art piece in wet areas of the house such as your kitchen, bathroom, and undercover patio (provided it’s out of direct sunlight).Canvas Wall Art with Floating Frame AdditionIn addition, you can choose to have a floating frame added to your wall art. Our floating frames are available in 4 colour options that are exclusively made by us!The composite timber look frame adds a high-end finish to your canvas print and measures 15mm wide and 50mm deep and floats freely around the wall art. This leaves a 5mm gap between the artwork and the frame, allowing the art piece to be displayed beautifully and professionally. The floating frame really gives the piece an added ‘wow’ factor!Rolled Canvas Wall Art (unmounted)You can also enjoy the same benefits described above for our rolled canvas wall art. If you order the wall art in this style, we'll deliver it to you carefully by wrapping the product in a tube package. This is to ensure that your art piece is safe to be shipped locally and internationally.To allow more room for stretching, each artwork is printed with an additional 45mm of the mirrored image, as well as 25mm of the white border to be wrapped around the stretcher-bar. From there, it’s up to you if you wish to get your canvas print framed by a local framer or simply on the wall as it is.Acrylic Glass Wall Art PrintsLastly, our beautiful made to order acrylic glass prints use the same state-of-the-art latex print technology that can last up to 80 years. These sleek and lightweight pieces are ready to hang on your wall as soon as they arrive. Your chosen artwork is printed onto the back of the optically clear acrylic to allow light to refract, giving your artwork incredible depth and colour dimensions. You have a few options with our acrylic prints – either have it frameless for a modern, sleek feel or opt for a composite timber look frame that comes in 4 colours.Additionally, you can choose to have the artwork printed edge-to-edge or with a white border around it. The border prints have a shadow line around the artwork, which gives the impression your artwork is mounted on a mat board.

The Russian cast off (Russian bind off) is a looser, stretchier and more elegant way of casting off than the traditional method. It works particularly well as a finishing to ribbing, especially on a ribbed collar or a ribbed band (eg on a hat). To start with, take your row of stitches (practice on a swatch first I think) Knit the first one as you normally would when casting off Now, insert the left needle in the back of the stitch you just knitted, you should have this sort of thing... Now, take the tip of the right needle and insert it in the next stitch, as if to knit, you should see a lovely cross formed with the stitches and the needle through both of them and out the back, like this Now, just pass the yarn round the needle as usual for a knit stitch Pull the point of the needle back through your cross, you should have a lovely stitch on your needle Now pull that off the left needle, and start again Put the left needle through the back of the stitch on the right Right needle through next stitch to knit Knit Off Keep going, it should look like this and eventually, you have this Here are a couple of examples of this stitch in real live action..... The collar of the Drops Jacket The band of the Astrum Beret Simple, elegant and useful, give it a go.
