Finishing Luna's gown took a very long time, especially since I've not had much time to work on it recently. I'm getting ready to leave CH to stay with my mother who is ill. So Luna is about to be put away. While I am gone, I will have computer access but no way to upload photographs, so I am taking another piece to stitch. I won't be posting about my stitching while I'm away since that's not going to be possible.
This is where you come in. I need volunteers who have painted canvases hidden away that they love but haven't a clue how to start. I will feature one of these a week (or so) and we'll talk about it publicly to come up with ideas of how to stitch each canvas.
To be featured here on Blog, you will need to send me either a link to a good online photo or you will have to email me a good photograph of your canvas that I can post. I think (but I am not certain) I will be able to download photo attachments from emails and then upload them to Blog while I'm away. (Since I don't know this for certain, we'll start with someone who sends me a URL of their problem piece.) Remember, whether you send a photo or a URL, you will have to answer emailed questions from me promptly as to your preferences when it comes to threads and stitches, any ideas you have already, and your reactions to what I tell you on Blog. I won't away give your name, however. Only you and I will know you are volunteering. You can choose any pseudonym you like.
Anyone who participates will need to be able to answer emails about their problem canvas right away and will see their answers (probably edited for length) here on Blog.
Do we have volunteers from the audience? Please raise your hand by emailing me at chillyhollow at hotmail dot com.
Those who don't send in problem canvases can contribute by posting comments here with your ideas about the featured designs. Sometimes it is easier to come up with ideas for someone else's canvas than your own.
Thanks everyone. I think this is the best way for me to continue to talk about painted canvases without being able to show what I am currently stitching while I am away from home.
