Tricia Nguyen has just announced her next reproduction stitching class, The Cabinet of Curiosities, which will start in the Spring of 2012. Apparently there will be a second class because already interest is so high.

Let There Be Light

Trish Burr
This is a fascinating article about lighting. Since I just spent the weekend in the dark, I found it particularly interesting but there are hints here that will help all stitchers. By the way, the link to Trish's info about lamps mentions lamps Trish can get in South Africa. We have other choices you might want to consider.

Daphne Goodyear and Friends UPDATED
Labels:
Daphne Goodyear,
Lee Cox,
Melissa Shirley,
Wild Women
I've mentioned Daphne Goodyear's website before but she's updated it with stitching from her friends. Friends like Lee Cox and Sonia who are wildly talented. Give it a minute for each page to load. Many have slide shows that take a bit to get downloaded and start playing.

Daphne herself does absolutely incredible Melissa Shirley Wild Women portraits. They are worth visiting again and again if you are stitching people, just for the ideas and creativity Daphne puts into her work.
This is a site to bookmark and visit on days when you want inspiration with your morning beverage. It's terrific that Daphne and her friends allow us to gawk at their work. And gawk I do--it is a wonderful "feast for the eyes."
UPDATE: Sudu took my suggestion to visit Daphne's website and ran with it. She turned up a book by Daphne and so much more! Clever Sue....
