Alright, I know there are tons of questions posted here related to blocking techniques, but as far as my research goes, I think I have a unique question.
I know you're supposed to block by pinning your piece onto foam, or foamcore, or the floor, and let it dry...
but...
is it okay to pin it to the wall instead?
I have absolutely nooooo room to block on the floor. And the piece in question is a scarf, so a piece of foamcore wouldn't be long enough. BUT I have umpteen feet of unused wall space (primed, painted) in my painting studio that isn't being used at the exact moment. Is this good enough? Or is gravity going to do some sort of a number on the piece, being pinned vertically instead of horizontally? It shouldn't, right? As long as I pin it well enough? Oui oui?
