Comments

Canvas color choices are :
Victorian Christmas green, antique blue, red, or black

The students choose their canvas color ahead of time per the student letter. In class there is a wide variety of threads available from which to choose — overdyed perle, #8 perle, floss, and metallics. After discussion of basic color theory, the students will spend some time choosing which colors they want for their project.

Each color scheme will be unique to that student.
