Maybe not.<br /><br />I agree, I do try to do as much as I can myself. I just don't have the confidence that I'd know what to do.

(The professional charge for crating was more than the art was worth.)<br />I double boxed it, with a liner of Luan plywood inside the outer box. Sent it via the US Postal Service. It got there safe and sound. Yes, it's another thing for the artist to do, but sometimes (shipping!) it's best to do everything you can yourself.patrickgracewoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07809680469780228855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216482034570567323.post-59924449713007517732010-09-27T12:27:16.695-07:002010-09-27T12:27:16.695-07:00Michelle,

I am glad that the gallery was so understanding and helpful.

Although the cost of packing and shipping was not enough in my mind to cover the damage.Michellenoreply@blogger.com
