The next painted canvas I am going to stitch is designed by Brenda Stofft. I call it the Rabbit Geisha. Brenda has the Cat in a Kimono also, which is similar but wears more elaborate robes.
Here is Rabbit Geisha (7 inches wide by 13 inches high on 18 count canvas) and then Cat in a Kimono (slightly larger at 9 inches wide by 16 inches high on 18 count canvas).

The reason I mentioned both pieces is that Jane in Alamo City is stitching Cat in a Kimono after a class with Tony Minieri helped her figure out how to handle the canvas. If you are curious about Cat in a Kimono, I know you'll enjoy visiting Jane at her blog and watching how she handles this design. Just scroll down the right hand column until you find the Category called "Brenda Stofft Cat in a Kimono." Click and enjoy!

Rabbit Geisha is going to offer an unusual challenge, which I'll talk about tomorrow.

I can't wait to watch you stitch this Brenda Stofft canvas. I have been recently drooling over many of her designs. I'm in a front row seat!

This is going to be fun, feathers, fur, cape and tassels. I am getting the popcorn and cocoa!
ReplyDeleteHi Jane, I love it when pets take on a human persona, or is it the other way around?!? This is going to be a joy to watch. I also love your stash credit feature. Off to feed your fish!
ReplyDeletemadonna, I'm glad you like the koi pond. I had this up for a while, then removed it thinking it was just more visual clutter. But since folks love it, it is back for a while at least until I redo the look of Blog.
