My next publicly stitched project will be Colors of Praise's "Women Watching Turtle." It's a 9 inch square design on 18 count. I like the unusual point of view and the ambiguity of the title. Is the turtle watching the woman or is she watching it?

I intend to limit the number of stitches I use for this piece, trying to emphasize the design instead of throwing every stitch in my books and thread in my considerable stash at it. To get an idea of what I am attempting, listen to Gay Ann Roger's discussion of how she approaches design on the Fiber Talk podcast. This will tell you where I plan to start and something about how I'll stitch that area.

Stay tuned to see how well I do!

In Praise of Overdyed Cotton Floss
Labels:
Colour Complements,
overdyed cotton floss
Lorraine at Colour Complements in Canada has written a lovely little essay about hand dyed cotton floss.
If you are tempted, here is her shop. You can choose between cotton floss or size 5, 8 and 12 perle cottons.
She also does a "sampler" set of cotton flosses in various colors if you want to play.
