Design Steps

If you thought coming up with a needlepoint design was quick, here's how Mopsey does it--

For those who don't have an Instagram account, here is the process in Mopsey's own words:

🎨I first doodle in my sketchbook, which may sit there for an hour or may sit for up to a year. 
🖥️Once I am ready to tackle the design, I roughly draft it on the computer in a charting software. 
🌀From there, I paint the canvas to make sure it will work when stitched, then tweak it on the computer, then back to painting, then back to the computer... you get the deal. 
🌈Once I'm set on the design, I work through color theory to make sure I'm bringing the design to life. I finalize a painted master and *voila* a new needlepoint design is born!
