Dimensions are 16\"x12\" and it is a hard canvas panel. It will hang on the wall with attached beaded wire chain.  I recommend a sturdy nail or screw with wall mount due to the weight of this piece: 3.1 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifically...\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this piece, I used a 16\"x12\" canvas board panel. This one is heavily layered, very solid, and extremely sturdy! I went back and forth quite a few times on the color pallet, so it received many layers of acrylic paint, gesso, and alcohol inks. There is a lot of detail in this one, and if you care to know it all, read on. Otherwise, skip ahead to the next section. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI layered the canvas with tissue paper and matte gel medium followed by a wired burlap ribbon resembling fish netting. I then began adding more layers of resin gears, wings, letters, numbers, broken wood frame pieces, flowers, glass beads painted and texturized, card stock die cut chains, embossed tin can pieces, moss, glass pieces as well as crushed glass mixed into various glitters, art stones, resin stars, a metal heart frame, coffee pod cup frames, cardboard die cut gears, dyed cheesecloth, clock faces and pieces, purple and silver wire with glass and plastic beads, and resin scrolls, and grommets. All resin pieces were created using Finnabair moulds, except the dragon, which came from Zuri designs. To color the canvas, I first covered everything in white gesso, then I used acrylic paints in Metallic purple, plum, blue, shimmery white, black, teal, and green, as well as Ranger alcohol inks in bright pink, dark blue, purple, and black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it sturdy and will it last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll items were adhered using a matte medium gel, gesso, and hot glue to assure that nothing comes apart. I take each of my finished pieces and shake the daylights out of them, upside down and everything, to assure that nothing will fall off. So, yes, it is quite durable and built to last.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eArtist Disclaimer: \u003cbr\u003eOne of a kind art. There is only one available.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMy prices may seem inconsistent, but every item is priced according to the amount of time I spend creating them as well as the supplies used. I handcraft nearly every piece that goes into my art. The resin pieces are the simplest things I create because the amazing moulds do most of the work for me. But other items found on each of my pieces is completely designed and meticulously put together by me. While there are a lot of fantastically beautiful options out there, I don't buy many pre-made embellishments because I want my art to be unique and entirely MY design. So if the prices seem higher on some pieces and lower on others, it has everything to do with the time spent creating each individual embellishment used on those pieces. I solemnly pour my heart and soul into everything I make. And I truly hope that shows in my attention to every single detail and quality of my products. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kallio Kalleidoscapes Mixed Media and Printable Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52217784566062,"sku":null,"price":428.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/1371\/3454\/files\/DragonWhole.jpg?v=1781817810","url":"https:\/\/pgc0z0-2c.myshopify.com\/products\/a-dragon-from-the-stars-16x12-hard-canvas-panel-mixed-media-wall-art","provider":"Kallio Kalleidoscapes Mixed Media and Printable Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
