It’s that magical time again — time to kick off a brand new Mystery Class! And this one? It’s equal parts spooky, soulful, and simply stunning.
Let us introduce you to My New Skull, a hauntingly beautiful design by Sharon Hendy-Moman that dances on the edge of fall, Halloween, and Día de los Muertos. With oversized florals in her hair and a soft, knowing gaze, our leading lady is the picture of quiet strength and solemn celebration. She’s dressed in a fiery red gown, holding her freshly acquired — and rather cheerful — skull like a prized possession. The skull itself is pure delight, adorned with flowers, hearts, and oodles of personality.
Behind her, a moody landscape unfolds. Vivid green trees sway under a stormy sky, while a chapel and colorful buildings rise in the background, giving the scene a dreamy, folkloric vibe.
Whether you see this as a nod to Frida, a celebration of ancestry, or simply an artsy gothic moment — this canvas is here to tell a story.
Painted on 18ct mono and measuring 10″ x 10″, this canvas is ready to shine as our newest Mystery Class.

Here’s How It Works:
The My New Skull Mystery Class includes three lessons (for now—if she asks for more sparkle, we’ll listen!). As always, with each lesson, more of the mystery is revealed. How fun is that?

Mystery Class News
Sunday was the first day of the Bunny Love class. Designed by Lane Tree Lily this one is so cute and so different from David’s Robotic Uprising, handpainted on 18ct, with big blocks of color just begging for fabulous stitches and fun threads. We’ll stitch the bunny in two short Zoom sessions: today and hopefully, August 10, 1–3pm ET. Sign up here to reserve your spot or order a kit.

Our current mystery class is Robotic Uprising by David Galchutt. We are five classes in. The sixth class will be as soon as threads arrive. Stay tuned for that date. All classes are on zoom! We have canvases available. I promise this is a fun stitch. Here’s the link to join the Uprising.

Not to be left out, we have a fabulous Zecca canvas, Window of Opportunity starting as a mystery in May. This one won’t be on zoom — it’s a series of kits mailed straight to your door. Each panel of this triptych fits on 12×15 bars—easy to hold, but when framed? A total showstopper. 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.

Oh, I LOVE her! I’m not so sure about her monobrow, but she’s really lovely in sort of a haunted way.
