Hung!

Well, yeah, so that was easier said than done. But, it was done, a long time ago, but I'm only just now putting the photos up. There where a couple of failed attempts with velcro, that was supposedly able to hold huge paintings up, but wouldn't manage the worms. I think it was a combination of a couple of things - 1. The perspex has a slight warp to it, and 2. With the backing being foam it made it really hard to push the worms 'onto' the wall and 'onto' the velcro strips in order to get it to grip. It did stay up for about 10 minutes, but it really wasn't working, so I had to go with what was actually plan A anyay! One of those aluminium strips, in the top opening, which was, of course, already cut specifically for that purpose, plan A! So, jumping straight to plan B actually cost me some slight damage to the kitchen wall, what with velrco strips being NoMoreNailsed to the wall, only to be ripped off within 48 hours - wife not that impressed, but it didn't matter because it would be covered by the worms anyway, and also, some slight damage to the foam backing, also due to having to rip the velcro strips off as well :L

The foam backing got of easier than the wall though, and I was able to paint over the (only very slightly) ripped surface with black again. Also, again, this didn't matter, because no one's looking at the back anyway! That's right up against the wall! I don't even know why I care enough about it to write about it, let alone expect you to care enough to read about it! Let's just get to the pictures, shall we? It's up, that's all we need to know!....
....I know it's not too glamorous living right next to the washing line, but at least the washing includes a pink Bape hoody :D
