I’m interrupting Zom-bellishment posts to share the latest lesson of our little brown bunny. We’re still setting the stage. I know, I know, you want drama and believe me, so do I. Lesson two was mostly about the trees. How do we handle trees that are too tiny to show off much of any stitch? I like my stitches to coordinate throughout the canvas so I set parameters for my choices. In this case all of my tree trunks are stitched in Neon Rays and the foliage on the trees is stitched in our Color Dreams Twisted Silk Perle. The sheen from the Neon Rays is a beautiful compliment to the silk.
Each tree is slightly different but they are all cohesive. If they were all exactly the same we wouldn’t get the depth of one tree in front of the next.
Because there was so much tiny stitching in the trees and almost no counting, I needed to treat myself to a counted stitch for the snow. Three ply Soie Cristale in the yummiest pale blue does the trick.
More stitching shenanigans to come. Lesson three of the Brown Bunny is scheduled for November 10th. It will be all about the fields our little bunny is racing through. We have canvases and threads available if you would like to join the fun. Here’s the link.
Monthly Club News
We just released a new monthly club. These are the Retro Monsters by Sandra Vargas. Kimberly Roberts wrote the stitchguides and let me say the thread painting brings their faces to life! It’s not to late to sign up. Well, technically, it’s never too late to sign up but you get the idea. The first canvas with stitchguide will ship next month along with the complete thread kit if you select that option. The houses and skeleton are also available if you would like to recreate our display. The trees are from amazon. Here’s the link to join the club.
In other news, the SALE section of the website is full of Lots and Lots of canvases marked down. Rainbow Gallery Splendor is also on sale 30% off. Happy Shopping!
