This is the tiny version of my 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).
The design on the canvas is in grayscale so you can choose your own colors!
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.
