Supply List: >> download Supply List
- 6x6 or 8x8 canvas panel or gessoed hardboard. Gallery wrapped canvases can also be used if you don't want to frame your piece.
- Be sure to have your word picked out. Create a text piece that uses your word (hand done or printed or found in collage materials. I would suggest having the piece sized to fit across the canvas or approx 3/4 of the canvas. ie: if you're working with a 6 x 6, have the word be 4-6" in length so that it takes up most of the canvas size.)
- If you need help finding your word for the year, you can download this FREE word guide:
