- a base having an open interior, a front opening and a rear opening, a longitudinal center axis, and first height and width dimensions;
a rim projecting outwardly from the front opening and having second height and width dimensions greater than the first height and width dimensions, the rim extending substantially perpendicularly to the longitudinal center axis; and

Abstract
A hanger attachable to an artwork frame includes a base having an open interior and openings at each end, rim and engagement member spanning the interior of the base. A method of mounting a canvas to an artwork frame includes attaching frame members with mating beveled ends to the back of the canvas, trimming margins of the canvas, rotating the frame members and canvas margins 90 degrees such that the frame ends matingly engage one another, and securing the frame ends to one another. Loose margins of the canvas may be folded and secured to the frame and a backing member attached thereto.

12. A wall-hanging system comprising:
-
a wall-hanging having a first hollow interior and a backing member substantially enclosing the first hollow interior; and a hanger mounted within a complementary shaped opening in the backing member, and projecting into the first hollow interior of the wall-hanging; the hanger having a base with a second hollow interior, a rim projecting outwardly from a first end of the base and resting flush against the backing member when the hanger is seated in the opening, and an engagement member; wherein the engagement member spans a width of the second hollow interior, is attached at opposite ends to the base and divides the second hollow interior into two chambers, the engagement member having at least one substantially flat surface that defines a plane that intersects a longitudinal center axis of the base, the engagement member extending substantially from a rear end of the base to a front end of the base. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)

15. A method of mounting a canvas having an image thereon comprising:
-
providing four frame members having substantially the same width and height and mating beveled ends; attaching the frame members to the back of the canvas such that two frame members are substantially parallel to each other and substantially perpendicular to the other frame members, and such that the ends of each frame member terminate proximate to an adjacent frame member without intersecting the path of the adjacent frame member, and such that the frame members are located inset from outer edges of the canvas to provide canvas margins outside the frame members; trimming the canvas margins to remove corner margin sections located at four corners of the canvas; cutting canvas margin sections located between the ends of adjacent frame members to substantially bisect the corner margin sections; rotating the frame members and canvas portions attached thereto upwardly and inwardly until the beveled ends of the frame members matingly engage; and securing the beveled ends together to form a four-sided frame. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
