Just used a white glue. I trimmed the sides with a utility knife, but this works better on wood panels/boards, which has straight edges. The canvas is a bit more rounded, so to make it flushed, I used sand paper around. It actually looked nice. The wax I poured over it later (pictures in another blog post) covered it of course. Cheers Moshe Thank you so much Josie,

It's been a while since I've seen these flowers!! When you say you mount them on stretched canvas, is that before or after you paint them, and with what--glue? I like all of them. Good luck. Josie Lovely anemones, Moshe. It’s been a while since I’ve seen these flowers!!

I want some!!! We'll talk. I remember picking dozens of them and by the time we arrived at home they were wilted and we had to throw some away. Almost hurts thinking about this now. I also knew where there were a couple of plants, and I would go in secret just to look at them. I can still see one plant in my mind's eye. What great memories. Best of luck!!! Rikki They are gorgeous!!!! I want some!!! We’ll talk.
