There may be a source of cheap linen that you wouldn't normally think of...go to your local friendly frame shop. The better frame shops do linen "liners" for oil paintings, sort of the equivalent of a mat that's used for prints etc. Since the linen liners are only on the outer edge of the painting, the middle bit is often discarded because it's too small for any other painting (oils pictures tend to be quite big:) ). I know our local shop used to give the scraps away to anyone that asked, and they were great for needlework or the centres of mats etc. Just ask if they have any linen scraps. Actually the same goes for matting, you'd be surprised at the lovely scraps..suede, silk..just right for small lace :) Sharon, on dull, drizzly Vancouver Island (yippeee)
