It's been roughly 15 years since I last stretched my own canvas... But being on a tight budget these days and knowing that I'll need numerous blank canvases to work on, it was time to revisit a skill I was never really good at.
With the help of my wife (And she was a great help - she's probably a bit stronger than me), we teamed up to pull that canvas as tightly as possible and stapled those edges as our hands grew tired with blisters. After what seemed like an eternity, and I'm glad I didn't keep track of the time or I would be embarrassed right now, the new canvas was complete and not half bad either. One down, several more to go... Thanks Jen!
