I adapted this to a whitewashed panel that could fit easily into a custom frame.  I sealed the surface well after doing the whitewashing with white acrylic paint on a wet rag and sealed well with Liberty Matte Sealer Spray.  The earth tones against the lighter background create a lot of depth and interest in this piece.  It could easily be adapted to any size or surface choice.  You could also take portions of the pattern and apply them to alternative surface choices.

As a seminar choice:  According to my portfolio, students need only to bring in either a 16" x 20" stretched canvas [medium grade] or white-washed wood that has been prepared according to the notes in the portfolio.  This is a full-day project choice.  If using my opaque projectors in class, we can size the design to fit almost any surface choice as well as size.
