This is my first ever piece on cradled hardboard. I'm hooked! I love the firmness of working on wood and the detail it allows me to create. I finished this piece off with some UV-resistant acrylic sealant and now its ready to hang. I have a show coming up in a few weeks and the less framing I have to do the better.
Thanks to my flickr friend LethaColleen, I started using mounting film (basically glue in a sheet form) on this piece. Its the best! The pieces stay nice and flat and theres no glue seeping out of edges. It also makes it possible for me to still embellish with pen/ink on the hardboard surface, something I can't do when working on canvas.
New art supply finds are the best! Hardboard and mounting film may just revolutionize my work!
"I'll Be There", the print is available for sale in my Etsy shop and is included in my Chair Sale.
Have a good week all. I'm actually a little excited for my first full week with my art babies.

love the look of the surface and I didn't know that glue came in sheets!
