Fabric: pre-washed & ironed andcut into 8” squares:

(more for experimenting optional)
2. a few squares of dark solids or dark prints
Other Materials
2 white plastic erasers (Magic Rub, Mars Staedler)
Exacto knife with sharp blade (not a utility knife)

cheap watercolor brush
foam brushes (one about 1” wide, extras and other widths if you wish)
Q Tips (a couple dozen or so)

large plastic trash bag (to protect table)
roll of paper towels
straight pins or t-pins (a couple dozen)
small bottle white glue (Sobo for fabric best but any will do)
“found objects” to use as stamps, use your imagination (a key, spool, fork, shell, a vegie, a piece of bubble wrap, circular shapes, etc.)
a leaf or two (fresh, not dried, indoor or outdoor, look for shape and texture—eg. fern, maple)

I’ll bring inks, materials to make stamp pads and supplies for experimenting with other types of stamps. The materials fee is $5.
