Framing a canvas typically involves either crafting the frame oneself or visiting a framing shop to order a custom frame, which can be time-consuming and costly. Canvas Mate is an adjustable canvas frame designed specifically for this purpose. Once ordered online, it can be resized to fit various canvas dimensions, simplifying the initial framing process and allowing for easy frame changes for new artworks. In addition to its framing function, Canvas Mate doubles as a carrying bag. The top strap handle facilitates both hanging artwork and convenient transportation. Moreover, bottom support modules wrap around the corners of the canvas to prevent it from touching the ground. Canvas Mate introduces a novel approach to completing artworks, integrating personal taste and lifestyle into the painting process. This innovation not only saves time and money for artists but also provides a practical option for customers purchasing artworks.
