Sounds really neat!

(I had a long reply all typed out, and a spark of static electricity apparently turn my computer off. Luckily it doesn't seem to have done any damage, but of COURSE, I lost the reply. So let's see if I can remember it.)

Any chance of seeing your murals? I like the bamboo idea. Beautiful plant. Do you paint just for yourself or do you also work pro?

No, When I was talking about murals on canvas, I meant loose sheets, not stretched canvas. It's a good way of doing murals in a rental space, where it can't be a permanent part of the space. On a properly prepped wall, a good paperhanger can come in and put up the canvas. That way, it be carefully removed at a later date, rolled and the owner can take it with them, and not leave behind some artwork the landlord might not appreciate and charge for painting over. Or it can be simply hung from a pole, like a banner. That's one way of doing it, there are one or two others, if it's going to be a permanent piece.
