Hi,

I have an oil painting cut up in nine pieces meant to
Be put on the wall with an inch gap between each
Piece.Each piece is meant to be projected from the
Wall.My problem is that I have not left gaps on the
Sides of each piece for stretching over wooden
Frames.And I donot want each framed separately as it
Will take away from the continuity of the painting
Which is one subject.Can I simply stick each piece of
Canvas on wood blocks and put them up on the wall?Will
It work?Or can I do anything else?

Thanks,
Anju.

I think you should be able to get a piece of thin plywood or something that all the pieces would fit on and then frame it.

I suggest you try on wood block, but before you try it on the paintings try it on regular painted canvas to see how it works.
