why does it have to be canvas ?? can you not just paint on a oval shaped piece of ply? (or sumfin like that)

not sure what you have tried so far, but I do think you would get a good effect from a DIY job.
you could easily get a chippie to cut you some oval "frames" from either MDF or ply (basically use a router with an eliptical guide to make exact replicas of the shape), stick a few together if you want it thicker than a normal sheet then stretch the canvas over it. bada bing.
where you at and what size were you looking for???

I'm in the U.S. and saw some just the other week in the Pearl paint store here. If it helps I could probably buy some and ship them to you?

Nothing wrong with a bit of embroidery
Anyway Seid you're far more likely to find me relaxing with a bit of baking

Yep, all my own work from design to decoration, it was a wedding present for some friends of mine who got wed last year. It's O.K. but I prefer doing 3D novelty designs.
Maybe I should start a thread "This is my art you can eat it" ;D

Oval canvas', by daley on Mar 14, 2008 21:29:57 GMT 1, You can buy round stretchers from a place that mainly sells moulding (frame wood) but does art supplies also. Not sure if they do oval ones though. It's on Hackney Road I think. Do a google search.
