Achieving Dimension in Needlepoint

We've talked some about how to make the background recede while making some of the bushes on cat topiary garden come forward while I worked on dede Odgen's cat topiary garden.  If you'd like more ideas on how to do this with your own painted canvases, Anne Stradal's latest lighthouse project will help.  Head over to her blog and starting with July 22, discover how the stitches and threads she choose make her lighthouse stand out against the sky and how she made some tree covered hills closer than others.
