July zoom-bellishment was a blast. We spent two wonderful days together discussing canvases and how to get the most out of them. We talked about perspective and focal points, what stitches work and what don’t. There’s so much to learn and experiment with in needlepoint. Why not do it all, LOL. I’m a big experimenter. What if you use this thread/stitch combination here; will it make the area look more realistic? I like combining different media and different techniques in my canvases.
Too Fluffy to Hide by Heather Gauthier is no exception. A cockatoo in a party hat allows a lot of room for fun techniques. There will be ribbon and beads and beaded chatons! Why shouldn’t the centers of the flowers have crystals?
The thread kit is yummy! Look at all those beads!
Too Fluffy to Hide canvases are in stock and sure to sell quickly, so if this is tempting you, click here and send us an order. Heather is the same artist who created Chinchillin our current mystery class.
More for zoom-bellishment launching tomorrow.
In other news, I have added another video to our YouTube channel. Here’s the link for how to bezel a chaton. Full instructions with photos are in the guide but now there’s a video too!
