Buy the Kit!

Technically it’s not that rare of a finish but I liked the way the title sounded.  This is Beauty of a Rare Find by Elizabeth Foster and Melissa Shirley!  Dianne selected it for an Embellishment Class a year or so ago and it is finished and framed!  It’s stunning.

If you’ve ever wondered what we do in our embellishment classes, this is a great example.  We focus on what stitches will most accurately enhance the canvas and make it look as much like the original art as possible.  It’s all about foreground and background and a strong focal point.

If you saw a white stag with blue flowers leaping through the forest what would he look like?  What stitches, threads and techniques represent that?

I love the plants!  They frame the prancing stag and ground the entire piece.

He’s somewhat classical and yet has a wonderful sense of whimsy, all the things I love in art.  If you would like to stitch your very own Beauty of a Rare Find, here’s the link.
