This is the tiny version of my pastel SHIT canvas, a salty take on mid-century artist Robert Indiana's iconic 'LOVE' design of the late 1960s that has been replicated in countless variations. I first stitched this as a pillow commission several years ago--I enlarged the design of a vintage pillow produced by Woolworks, a needlepoint shop in New York (and I reproduce it here with the owner's permission).
This canvas is just over two inches square and can be finished as a bag charm, ornament, magnet, or patch, among other options (it might be a row or two too big for a can cozy insert).
This canvas is stitch printed on Zweigart 100% cotton mono deluxe canvas.
