Momento Mori (Book of Remembrance) Materials List
Jan 30 - Feb 1, 2009 at Carol Parks Studio
Welcome to this Artistic Adventure! While we will be learning alot of techniques However,this is going to take a little digging-a little personal archeology-Think about whom this book will be memorializing-and also the things and words you want to include about yourself and your relationship to this subject.
  • One yard or more of smooth unprimed canvas- 7 ounce or what you can find-100% cotton 7 1/2 by 8 1/2 inches. I also like drill cloth (available at JoAnns for $4.29 a yard at this writing)

  • Pigma Micron markers, Pitt pens (the pointed ones. Pigma Micron Pens and Pitt Artist Pens are similar), Sharpies (Colors are nice. Lisa likes the Fine Point Sharpies and the White Poster Paint Sharpies), and /or gel pens if you have them
  • Small Spray bottle
