Whenever possible keep the rolled up masking tape as flat as possible, meaning stick it firmly on the surface and on the object, to avoid it flopping down the wall.

Then cut the individual labels on the foam board with an exacto knife and straight edge. With 2 or 4 of the little 3M foam double stick mounting squares the back, this makes an attractive and easily movable wall label, with the 3-D look of the foam. They are also re-usable, rigid and I can stick the label right on the back of the painting for moving and/or storing the paintings. So far no sign of wall damage. Hope this is of help to someone out there.

John: I still don't like to see labels on the acrylic or glass. It looks more "retail-y," which is okay in some situations, but I think we need to treat the art as FINE art and then others will do the same. Marina: I'm sorry, but I have no idea. If I find a resource, I'll post it on the blog. Anyone? Dede and Annette: Thanks for the additional resources. John: I still don’t like to see labels on the acrylic or glass.
