The invention relates to a device for tensioning a canvas on a frame, which is for assembling two bars the ends of which comprise a groove. The device comprises: an optional sheath intended to be immobilized in a groove; a spacer comprising a central portion from which extend two lateral portions each having a bearing face coming to abut against the bottom of the sheath; a tensioner comprising a central portion from which extend securing means for securing the tensioner to the bars, via the sheath; a connecting member for connecting the spacer to the tensioner, and means for bringing the spacer closer to the tensioner, wherein the spacer being brought closer to the tensioner will cause each bar to translate along its longitudinal axis so as to space the bars apart from each other while keeping them perpendicular to each other.

A manufacturing method of a picture comprises, disposing salt on a manufacturing board to form a salt layer, and coating and drying steps. In the primary coating and drying steps, polyurethane resin cured by exposure to air for about 10 to 20 minutes is poured onto the salt layer and the primary coating layer is dried in a condition of a relative humidity of 40 to 60%. In the secondary coating step, polyurethane resin cured for about 21 to 40 minutes is poured onto the primary coating layer and the secondary coating layer is dried in a condition of a relative humidity of 1 to 39%. In the tertiary coating step, polyurethane resin cured for about 50 to 70 minutes is poured onto the secondary coating layer and the tertiary coating layer is dried in a condition of a relative humidity of 1 to 39%.

A painting rack assembly, including a frame portion having a first pair of spaced, parallel elongated members, a second pair of spaced, parallel semi-elongated members connected to the first pair of spaced, parallel elongated members to define a parallelogram further defining a working plane, a respective centered pivotable connector operationally connected to each respective semi-elongated member, and a plurality of fabric connection assemblies operationally connected to and distributed around the parallelogram, and a support assembly operationally connected to the frame portion having a pair of elongated support members, each respective elongated support member connected to a respective pivotable connector at one end and having a connection socket at the other, oppositely disposed end, and a pair of spaced elongated stabilizing members extending orthogonally from each respective elongated support member and oriented parallel to the working plane.

A quilt support formed of a rigid plate. The rigid plate includes a front surface and a rear surface. A gripping layer is attached to the front surface of the rigid plate. A foldable stand is pivotally attached to the rear surface of the rigid plate. The foldable stand includes a folded position and a deployed position. The folded position includes the foldable stand pivoted towards and resting against the rear surface. The deployed position includes the foldable stand pivoted away from the rear surface. The foldable stand is operable to support the rigid plate in an upright position when resting on a surface such that the rigid plate is disposed at an angle relative to the surface when in the deployed position.
