You can use white paper or colored pages. \nMaterials included: \n\nMixed media paper\nWatercolor paper\nCardstock\nEmbroidery needles\nEmbroidery thread\nHot cocoa or La Croix\n\nInstructor: Michele Esser is a 5-year Missoula resident and mixed media artist who completed her Master Naturalist certification in 2020.
