Abstract
A canvas frame and canvas frame kit is disclosed that permits canvas frames of unorthodox configuration. The canvas frames include divergent interior portions that permit an irregular primary frame to be matched with a supplemental frame to present a single, unified work of art separable at the whim of the user.
Claims19
A canvas frame construction kit, said kit comprising:
- multiple frame units, each of said frame units comprising:
- a separated housing bilayer with parallel, substantially planar, elongate housing units;
- a substantially planar separator unit, wholly engulfed within said housing bilayer and positioned peripherally thereto, defining a major aperture within said frame unit opposite said separator unit and multiple minor apertures within said frame unit flanking said separator unit;
- and
- multiple elongate connector units, each of said connector units dimensioned to form a substantially peripherally flush configuration, upon contact placement upon said separator unit, with said housing bilayer upon longitudinal insertion within said major aperture.

A canvas frame comprising:
- an irregular primary canvas frame with a continuous canvas periphery having at least five exterior side surfaces forming a canvas aperture;
- a supplementary canvas frame with a continuous canvas periphery dimensioned to form a close fit relationship with said canvas aperture to form a regular combined frame;
- and
- a flexible primary drawing surface, substantially identical in shape to said primary canvas frame and having surface excess dimensioned to wrap about said primary canvas frame canvas periphery, wherein said surface excess includes at least two contiguous excess buttresses, corresponding to said primary canvas aperture, dimensioned to be overlapping and present a continuous drawing surface through said primary canvas frame upon wrapping said excess about said primary canvas periphery.

A canvas frame comprising:
- a primary canvas frame with a canvas periphery having exterior side surfaces;
- a central frame projection, connected to said exterior side surface, positioned within said exterior side surfaces;
- a central canvas support, connected to said central frame projection, forming a canvas aperture positioned within said exterior side surfaces;
- and
- a flexible primary drawing surface, substantially identical in shape to said primary canvas frame and having surface excess dimensioned to wrap about said primary canvas frame canvas periphery and said central canvas support, wherein said surface excess includes at least two contiguous excess buttresses, corresponding to said canvas aperture, dimensioned to be overlapping and present a continuous drawing surface through said primary canvas frame upon wrapping said excess about said canvas aperture.
