The Painted Elephant

This is the painted elephant Barb will be stitching.  Since March is the month of the Decorated Elephant Parade in Jaipur, she's starting at an appropriate time.

Tony Minieri Class

Tomorrow is the first day of the Tony Minieri embellishment class at Family Arts Needlework.  The first two Tapestry Fair designs Tony will be teaching are a Southwest pony and jackrabbit, painted for MaryLu Leger
and a painted elephant for Barb Cohen.

These are both painted on #18 canvas, so there's lots of room for intricate and interesting stitches.

My class starts on Saturday, so I'll get a chance to see the progress on these two before tackling my own project.
