We’re officially two classes deep into the Robotic Uprising Mystery Class, and let me tell you—Lesson 2 brought the drama, the dimension, and the deliciously red robot!
We dove into stitching most of the red bot (you know the one—with that smug little smirk that says, “I know I look good”). But we didn’t stop at just filling in the lines—we built this bot.
So what did we focus on?
Depth, darling. Depth is the name of the game.
We explored how allowing parts of the painted canvas to peek through actually adds more dimension than covering every last inch. (Yes, restraint is a stitch technique.)

We introduced mixed materials—because why settle for flat when you can go full-on futuristic and fabulous? From glints of metal to subtle texture shifts, our bots are starting to feel like they could beep-boop right off the canvas.

We played with shading and layer-building to make our red robot pop like he’s ready for his close-up!

There are three more classes to go, and trust me—they’re going to be even more dynamic. Think gears, glimmers, and maybe even a surprise or two.
It’s not too late to join us!
If you’ve been watching from the sidelines, now’s your chance to jump in. Each lesson builds on the last, but you can catch up easily—and I’m here to guide you every stitch of the way.
Don’t let this uprising pass you by.

Our current mystery class is Robotic Uprising by David Galchutt. We have three more lessons planned for this class, May 18, June 8 and 29. All classes are on zoom! We have canvases available. I promise this will be a fun stitch. Here’s the link to join the Uprising.

Designed by Lane Tree and Lily who designed Queen’s Court, Best Friends and Dancing Queens, you know you love all of those, this is her Bunny Love canvas! This will be our next Mystery Class! I’m always doing something different in each class. That’s what keeps this fun. This canvas couldn’t be more different than our current class Robotic Uprising by David Galchutt. It’s tiny 6″ x 8″ handpainted on 18ct. It has large areas of one color just asking to be filled with a fun stitch. You know I am going to use fun thereads. If you’ve thought about joining a mystery class this could be the perfect one. We will stitch the bunny in two short lessons, July 20 and August 10 from 1 pm – 3pm on zoom. Sign up soon to reserve your spot. Here’s the link to sign up.

Not to be left out, we have a fabulous Zecca canvas, Window of Opportunity starting as a mystery in April. This won’t be a class on zoom, it will simply be a series of kits sent to your home. I promise it’s going to be grand! Each panel of this triptych fits nicely on 12 x 15 bars. Nothing to big to hold, but once framed it will be a show stopper. Here’s the link for this one. 

If you are reading this post on the blog great! Make sure you are signed up for the mailing list so that you don’t miss anything Bedecked and Beadazzled. Did you know we are also on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and YouTube? Even more places to follow the fun. xo again.

Beep boop off the canvas! The rebellion feels good from here!
