NDPLT Company, Kirkland Design Studio, and Gingham Stitchery show you how needlepoint is painted in the Philippines, from the creation of a master that has to be approved, to the sketch and finally the various painters who fill in this color or that. The design examples are from Kirkland's new "store front" series and the "Betty" designs that will be available in the fall.
You can see some of the storefront series (I think there are six total: Macy's, Tiffany's, Bloomingdale's, Bergdorf's, Dior, and Saks) here--
To continue the series, NDPLT shows how a master is created.
Here is Spellbound Stitchery's new Fisherman canvas.
If you are fascinated by all this like I am, visit the Pointing It Out podcast where Megan interviews Heidi of NDPLT who owns a painting company in the Philippines. You'll learn much more and get into all the steps that are involved from the creation of a design to having it painted and then shipping it to your favorite shop.
You can also see what Paige of Blue Ridge Stitchery shows about how she creates her designs on her Instagram in an abbreviated form.
