18" x 24" Winsor & Newton Stretched Canvas 6 Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Item description is entitled ' 18x24 stretched canvas 6 pack." I felt misled by the product description. I thought I was ordering 6 canvases. Instead, the small print indicates that it is really only one canvas. Really need to read the description to understand what you are ordering.

We have tried many brands of prestretched canvas; and we have listened to customer feedback as well. One brand that keeps coming out on top is Winsor & Newton. Their prestretched canvases are made with 8oz natural cotton duck. The stretcher bars are 13/16 inch deep, and feature staple free edges- the canvas is stapled onto the back of the stretcher bars, so the edges can be painted to display finished paintings with or without framing. Each canvas is triple primed with acid free sizing and two coats of highly pigmented acrylic primer (gesso). This priming offers balanced absorbency and tooth, while preventing oil paints from sinking or soaking through. The stretcher bars themselves are kiln dried and have beveled edges. Each canvas is stretched by hand, and there is ample canvas on the back if you should decide to restretch the finished painting. Ideal for use with oil, acrylic, and alkyd paints. Perhaps best of all, we are offering these cavases in packages of six.

Designed by Paul Rowan, the Gallery easel has a polished aluminum finish. This stylish easel is simple and clean in it's design, so as not to take away from the picture frame or photo it is showcasing. The easel lays flat for easy storage, but stands 12.5" x 6", perfect for holding a frame with a 4" x 6" photo in it. The front bar of the easel has a little lip to hold the frame in place and can hold a frame either horizontally or vertically. Perfect for desk tops, mantels - even on top of a piano or on a side table, the Gallery Easel is easy to decorate with. Umbra is the worldwide leader in casual, contemporary and affordable design for the home.

Logan 450 Intermediate 40 in. cutter 450 intermediate Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Logan 450 lets you make perfect mats with consistency and accuracy. It handles full sized 32 x 40 mat boards and both 1/8" and 3/16" foam core boards. This is a big, solid, well-made device. You need the top of a table or workbench to use it. There's a smaller model (Logan 250) that takes 20 x 16 mat board, but it's more economical to buy the 32 x 40 boards.
I bought it because I make 8x10 and 11x14 prints often enough to make it a worthwhile convenience. There's a huge choice of colors if you go to an art store and buy full sheets of mat board rather than pre-cut mats, and the cost of a full sheet is about the same as one precut 8x10 or 8x12 precut mat.
Just follow the instructions very carefully, and take your time. There's a DVD packed inside that worth looking at - maybe worth looking at a couple of times. The printed instruction book is quite clear. There's a stop included for repetitive cuts that makes it easy to cut two or three mats exactly the same size.
You may also want a 16" or longer steel or aluminum ruler. If you're careful, you won't need to do any touch-up surgery with a utilty knife (razor knife) but it's not a bad idea to have one close by just in case.
