A friend sent me this news link about the Dimensions company, which is closing their XS kit factory. Luckily it sounds as if the employees will be transferred into another division. The news writer doesn't mention Dimensions' NP kits but I imagine they are made at the same location.

The good news is I discovered a new silk thread. It is called TESS, which stands for True Embroideries Sleave Silk. This is actually Piper silk, repackaged and distributed by Helen M. Stevens, who is famous for her needle paintings of nature, small animals and insects.

Rat as Background
Labels:

Renaissance Rat
I've been tent stitching Rat for weeks on end, it seems. Besides the ecru background that ties all the angels together as a family, I have tent stitched the face (except for the eye and nose area) and paw of this angel also. These tent stitches are a background for something I plan to do to add white spots to her head, detail to her ears and to her paws. But first you have to lay the foundation, so that's what I have been doing.
