Have you tried taking it to the dry cleaners? I’ve had some success in the past with textile arts using the solution inside the Dryel dry cleaning kit; it required plenty of blotting and patience.
FYI: If you go to the cleaners, they will ask what made the stain (e.g., oil, dust, ink, etc.) and some knowledgeable ones will recommend how to clean it or refer you to someone who does.
You’re correct about the backing (hardboard) in that it must not get wet – I could be wrong but it looks like MDF (medium density fiberboard). They will swell up upon contact with water. Good luck.
EDIT: Just wanted to say that you have a lovely piece of folkart.
Glad to see I’m not the only one still using a point-and-shoot camera. Sorry to hear that you had to pay double the MSRP; my most recent purchase was another Canon PowerShot Elph during late summer of 2021.
It was an older model (cheaper) but the newer models are now equipped with WiFi. I purchased an adapter for my phone (it’s very small) so I can download photos from the SD card. My family is very happy with it because the photos aren’t going to social media right away and they were able to choose and download photos to their phones as well.
I’m currently stalking the Canon PowerShot Elph 360 HS A but TBH, I’m not a fan of the WiFi and the price. Hopefully you’re enjoying your camera and taking lots of photos.
Brent Chapman can see again after doctors pulled out one of his teeth, flattened it, drilled a hole in it, placed a lens inside and implanted the tooth in one of his eyes.
It seems bizarre, but the complex operation — informally known as tooth-in-eye surgery — can help restore vision in patients with the most severe forms of corneal blindness.
Wow! You’re a spectacular artist. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
