Is just home from the frame shop...
Framed with museum glass (zero glare) to protect
the colors and keep it preserved.

Sharing Sir Whale's progress (backwards...)
I use all cotton floss...
Six strands & three strands.
His coat of many colors...
I sketch my design lightly in pencil and then add some contour lines
with three strands... then I start filling in and painting with strings!
'Sir Whale' was his name before I started adding color...
As I was stitching along I was humming, "Down by the Sea..."
Still hum it when I see it!
Hope you have a wonderful week, Sweet Friends!
More amazing pieces of art. I am in awe of your talent.
ReplyDeleteAnother stunning piece, my friend. I'm in awe of your talent. I love your whale...well, actually, it's hard to pick my favorite things.

these are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited that you have your designs to purchase on etsy. I just found this needle punch kit at the dollar store nothing exciting. I thought what do I do next seems micheals doesn't carry anything. I not talented enough to draw myself. I'm from an Island in Canada. I love the whale. My Pop is a veteran so I want to do the Poppy! Amazing work. I hope mine comes out half as good as yours.
