Upright multi-position fabric painting rack

An orientation-adjustable rack assembly for supporting a scarf for painting, comprising:

• a plurality of spaced elongated members connected contiguously together to define a frame, wherein the frame defines a working plane;
• a first respective pivotable connector operationally connected to a first respective elongated member;
• a second respective pivotable connector operationally connected to a second, spaced elongated member;
• a plurality of three-fingered, partially elastic fabric tensioners operationally connected to, and distributed around, the frame;
• and
• a pair of elongated magnetically engageable support members, each respective elongated magnetically engageable support member connected to the respective first and second pivotable connector;
• and
• a pair of spaced elongated stabilizing members extending orthogonally from each respective elongated support member and oriented parallel to the working plane;
• and
• an elongated magnetic utility member connectable to one respective elongated magnetically engageable support member and connectable to the other respective elongated magnetically engageable support member to extend therebetween;
• wherein the elongated magnetic utility member is connectable in an orientation parallel to the working plane between one respective magnetically engageable support member and the other respective magnetically engageable support member when the respective magnetically engageable support members are oriented parallel to one another such that the working plane may be oriented in a generally horizontal disposition;
• and
• wherein the elongated magnetic utility member is connectable in an orientation nonparallel to the working plane between one respective magnetically engageable support member and the other respective magnetically engageable support member when the respective magnetically engageable support members are pivoted toward one another such that the working plane may be oriented in a generally vertical disposition.

A kit for constructing an orientation-adjustable rack assembly for supporting a scarf for painting, comprising:

• a plurality of elongated frame members connectable to yield a frame defining a working plane;
• a plurality of fabric tensioners operationally connectable to respective elongated frame members;
• a pair of elongated support members, each respective elongated support member connectable to a respective pivotable connector;
• and
• a plurality of elongated stabilizing members connectable to extend orthogonally from each respective elongated support member and oriented parallel to the working plane;
• and
• an at least partially magnetic utility member for magnetic connection between the respective elongated support members;
• wherein at least two respective elongated members each have the respective pivotable connector operationally connected thereto;
• wherein the utility member is connectable in an orientation parallel to the working plane between one support member and the other respective support member when the respective support members are oriented parallel to one another such that the frame may be oriented in a generally horizontal disposition;
• and
• wherein the utility member is connectable in an orientation nonparallel to the working plane between one support member and the other respective support member when the respective support members are pivoted toward one another such that the frame may be oriented in a generally vertical disposition.
