CREATING THE 11X14” WORKBOARDS FOR YOUR POSTCARDS

GENERAL MATERIALS LIST

IMPORTANT NOTE: This workshop is about experimenting, then
finding the best of what works for you after you see the results.
Use what you have. This list reflects what I used for the examples
you’ll see in the videos . It looks long, but I included things you
probably already have like scissors, pencils and paper towels. I
have given you sources when the materials might be new to you or
hard to find.
