By canvas do you actually mean a canvas?

Syd 10/31/2006 #

Jennifer, yes -- here is a photo of my Oct. submission.

They are small 5x5 canvas.

Ms. Pants 10/31/2006 #

Jennifer, yeah that's what we've done before. At my local art supply store, there are ready-made canvases 5" x 5" (little, but not tiny) that are already stretched, treated, and mounted on wood. Michaels might have them, but I've never had much luck with the ones near me when it comes to 5x5 sized canvases. (I find the art store near me is a million times cheaper than Michaels for canvases as well.)

I'm up for this, but I presume I don't really have to have it in the mail tomorrow....

Syd 10/31/2006 #

Ooops. Yes, that's right. Mailout should be Dec. 1, not November. Wonderful, welcome Jennifer and glassgrrl.

Jennifer 11/ 1/2006 #

Cool. Thanks for clearing that up. :)

Can we use mixed media for our creations?

Syd 11/ 1/2006 #

PaperPrincess--any medium that fits on a 5x5 canvas. Thanks!

Jennifer 11/ 4/2006 #

I managed to find some 5x5 canvas like things. :) So I'm good to go.

any chance of bending the rules and accepting a 5x7 canvas? we don't seem to have 5x5 ones in australia

Hi, Jennifer O, your canvas will be mailed out Monday, December 4th. Sorry I am late. I usually mail things on Monday. Nathalie

Syd 12/ 9/2006 #

Hello. Y'all I'm late also, but I will upload a photo here when I do finish and send it out to Nathalie. How did you guys like the swap. Did everyone recieve something?

Blackie, it would be great if you could find 5x5 becuase the effect after several of these swaps is a series of painting all the same square size. But art is art and I suppose if you contact your swap partner and clear it, I'd have no complaint.

Hi, Jennifer, so glad you liked my contribution. Looking forward to doing this challenge again. Is this a monthly challenge? My BabyCat is very special. :). Hugs, Nathalie
