Then Lile got an old unix machine together (being a unix systems administrator, this was fairly disney image simple) and registered art.net image with the internic. once the domain was created, with the help of friends, she brought up art.net onto disney image the internet. lile started contacting artists about the image san francisco bay area who might be interested in showing their works on the internet and helped them come up on art.net. she visited many cafe''s to see the local artists works and enjoy the coffees. when she saw works she liked, she contacted the artists and offered to help them come up on the internet and the www via art.net. many artists took the plunge and are now resident artists here at art.net. artists from around the net started hearing about art on the net or would discover the art.net web site via the www. do not store disney image or display works of art in areas of potentially high humidity or water leakage, e.g. basement, bathroom, outside walls, under pipes. avoid areas where temperature and humidity image fluctuate, or where there is inadequate air circulation, e.g. attic and places listed above. do not hang artworks over or under radiators, heating and cooling vents, active fireplaces, humidifiers, and vaporizersa. the hygroscopic nature of wood means that it will disney take water from the atmosphere and expand, but it will contract as the humidity lessens. the direction of shrinkage is almost always around the circumference, which causes a solid piece of wood to crack vertically. keeping it in a steady relative humidity can stabilize the sculpture; if the wood does not absorb or release moisture, it will no longer expand or contract. once a wooden sculpture has been dehydrated cracks will appear, where even exposure to high relative humidity will not make the cracks close up entirely. however, conservators can fill the cracks with a variety of materials to create a unified visual impression. what should i ask for when matting and framing works of art on paper? mat board should be made from 100% rag or lignin-free cellulose. sometimes those labelled as "museum board" or "conservation board" are not of the highest quality. alkaline buffered boards are not sufficient if the board contains wood pulp. photographs should not be matted with alkaline buffered boards as some prints are adversely effected by alkalinity. hinges are used to attach the work of art to the backboard of the mat. they should be made of japanese paper, and should be adhered with wheat starch paste. pressure sensitive adhesive tapes and pre-gummed tapes should not be used. photographs are often attached to the mat with photo image corners.
