I ordered my first one. Have yet to see it, but the item has been shipped.

I have a link to the Toronto firm that does these. They have done 24x30 inch mosaics for me in the past with excellent quality.

When I ordered this, they immediately sent me an email and I will attach part of it as some of you who are into art type work will figure this out.
I went with the faux wrap.

Hi Al,

Nice to hear from you again!

Your image looks great for the canvas.

I need to get your input on edge treatment.

Normally we gallery wrap the canvas, which means we extend the image onto the edges, for this we need 2" per edge.

In your case, that might change the composition of the photo for the worse.

So we have another option - we can mirror wrap the canvas - that means we take the last 2" of the perimeter and reflect it onto the edge. I call it the "faux gallery wrap", because it looks like a gallery wrap, but the composition of the photo gets left intact on the face of the canvas.

Al,

That sounds wonderful. Will you post a photo of the finished canvas?
