Introducing Pippin Studio

The Needlepointer has uploaded painted canvases from a new designer, Jennifer Tan who designs under the Pippin Studio name.  I think she is going to be particularly well known for her Twelve series of stockings and pillows, each with twelve versions of Santa, twelve sweaters, or twelve sailboats.  Have fun browsing these graphic interpretations of items all around us.

Sparkles Seminar

Vicky just attended a class sponsored by a local ANG guild on using Sparkles, the stiff tubular material that Sundance introduced recently. It was taught by Cassie Prescott, one of the Sundance founders, and Barbara Elmore whose designs are distributed by Sundance.  There are a great many effects you can achieve using Sparkles and Vicky practiced them all.  Enjoy the photos and look for a Sparkles Seminar taught by Barbara at a shop near you.
