It all started with this canvas. The moment I saw her — the elegant lady, her long, spotted cat, and those playful pops of color — I knew I had to find the artist. A few emails, and a bit of luck later, I tracked down Barbara Basso in Italy, and the rest is history.
Now, Barbara is part of our Bedecked and Beadazzled family, and I couldn’t be happier to introduce her first Mystery Class with us — Dots Upon Dots.

This 10″ x 10″ canvas on 18ct is everything I love: modern, whimsical, and packed with possibilities. Over three lessons we’ll bring our fashionable duo to life with threads, beads, and stitches that celebrate every single dot.
The first class will be January 25 with two more classes to follow in February and early March. You know the drill — each lesson brings new sparkle, new surprises, and a whole lot of fun.
