Tidbits

I have several tidbits of knowledge to pass along this morning.  First, the Cyberpointers Chapter of ANG has a new class available that mixes beading and blackwork--Copper River Canyon by Mary K. Campbell.  You can learn more (and see two alternate colorways) here.

To take the class you have to be a member of the Cyberpointers, which costs $18 a year in dues.  Here's the link to the sign up form for Copper River Canyon.  If you want to join Cyberpointers, click on Join, also at this page.

Remember O'jishi, the Noh Theatre mask I just finished?  Thanks to Leigh Richardson, I've got a photo of another stitched mask from the Japanese mask series to show you.  It was stitched all in silk ribbon by the late Paul Krynicki of River Silks.

Here is the series of painted canvases so you can see the Before and After.  Isn't this an amazing interpretation of Karura, the legendary bird?!

Finally, while looking for something else, I noticed that Ro Pace has a new look to her website. It sets off her amazing geometric patterns very well.
