Hanging decor on stone wall...

16 years ago

We have a stone (drystack veneer) fireplace wall in the great room and I'd very much like to add a piece of art to it. Normally not a problem, drill through the mortar, but we have a drystack stone - no martar gaps. I know people mount thing to stone all the time, so I'm hoping someone here has seen a product made for this, or has a downright good idea.

The stones are affixed properly with mortar to 1" plywood and beefed up framing. If we could get a screw to fit between two stones and into the wood, problem solved (of course that's not idea for the picture itself, but it's not a heavy one so I think it will be just fine.) I'm just not sure we can get one to fit.

DH's idea: "find" (always easier said than done) some type of spring/tension clip that will wedge between stones and hold, maybe like what rock climbers use, then rig something from the end of it to make it work for the art's frame.

Please tell me you have a better idea. Preferrably something commonplace and common sense that I'm just not thinking of!

We do have a reclaimed beam mantel which I could prop on, but I'd rather keep the art off of it.
