Have two elephant ears that I had paintings done on. I have seen pictures of others who placed the ears in a "shadow box" type of frame to display. Someone else told me that they had seen some glued to a piece of Masonite then hung on the wall. Any opinions or suggestions would be appreciated.

The ear I had done had a fiberglass backing and just hung on the wall. To me, seems like a frame would take away from the ear itself, plus that would be a BIG frame.

I was told by one person to just get some thin masonite and use a floor tile glue to attach it to the masonite. How thick is your fiberglass and do you know how the ears are attached? Any idea of the source for the fiberglass? Thanks.

robert utne did one for me with a fiberglas backing that just hangs on the wall as is. i don't think i'd want a frame it would distract
