Stitching this canvas was a big "stretch" for me technically, but well worth the effort. Lupe will go to the framer next week, and then I can focus on Leapin' Lizards, this year's class project.

Lupe is lovely! I am sure Tony's very proud of you. It looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jane - I think Tony is shocked to see that I could actually stitch this! Couldn't find wired ribbon for the rose, so got some white and painted the ribbon to match the painted rose on the canvas - a very messy job, but it worked. Also, I met Judy, a friend of Janet, at Family Arts - what fun!
ReplyDeletePeggi - Would you share what stitch and thread Tony suggested for the skull part of her face? I am taking "Halloween Beauty" to one of his embellishment classes in July and I am so curious how he will handle that part of the canvas. I can send you a private email address if you'd rather not answer publicly. Thanks! Elizabeth
ReplyDeleteElizabeth - From what I've seen, Tony handles each one of these skeletons differently. My face was in upright cross, but his guide for MS-1, Rosa, uses brick stitch for the face. I am anxious to see what stitches he chooses for Belleza - but be assured that whatever stitches he cooks up for your canvas it will be a knockout!
DeletePeggi, it is fabulous! Lupe and Tony's stitch guide for her are high on my wish list!
ReplyDeleteThank you - this was the most challenging piece I've ever stitched. It was fun, and I really learned a lot.
