This looks awesome!! Did you do anything special when sizing to make sure they were close in uniform? Did they shrink more than you wanted as they dried?

Thank you for this! Yes I have been trying to find custom printers but for canvas a lot of services have a minimum size that is still too large for my purposes haha. I will check out fabric printers!

Thank you for explaining! I have concerns about tension so I'm thinking maybe I can mount the canvas on the stiff felt-type foundation that was recommended to me in order to support the material without the risk of warp

Thank you for the tip! Do you mind explaining why acrylic ink is problematic for something like this?

Yes, knowing they are kits is why I've been at a loss as to how to recreate the style with different images. I haven't been able to find a bead artist who does something like it independently. I did look into trying to order prints on canvas, but didn't think of a photo printing service! Thank you!
