Here is my idea of a portable, easily stored, almost free standing, or easily hung design wall. In a previous life it was a heavy flannel blanket. I found it at Goodwill for about a buck. The corners were folded over and sewn to make a couple of slots. Old fiberglass tent poles are inserted into the slots, and tied together with a ribbon which goes through the blanket and around the poles. It will lean against a wall (The almost free standing part) or hang from ribbons. I take those easily removable adhesive hooks with me to retreats to hang on the wall, without the frame, but stand the frame most anywhere else. Here it is hanging from a single cup hook from the beam, frame in. Earlier, I had it standing in front of the fire place. The poles are on shock cord, so it makes a package of about 18" long when folded.
