As I look at photos from last weekend’s Panda, Zebra and Penguin class I feel like I should be telling a joke about a polar bear in a snowstorm. The canvas is black and white, but all about the subtleties threads can give us. Stitched all in Tent Stitch with one thread, and it is a classic graphic design. Add texture with threads and a few magical details and it jumps to life from the canvas.
I designed a graphic mid-century modern background for this design. It’s stitched using my overdyed floche and it is oh so yummy and subtle and quick to stitch!
The zebra is in the background, so he is the simplest of the characters but I am in love with the detail on the tip of his ear. Just enough to add some depth, and did you notice the tail!
The panda is suitably fuzzy, He features two different stitches and some little tricks so you don’t lose your mind trying to stitch a pattern in Fuzzy Stuff. His ears are beaded, because why not?
Finally that brings us to the penguin which is completely beaded because you know I love beads!
We have Penguin, Panda, Zebra canvases in stock. Here’s the link.
