Friday Finishing: Lights and Tables

Trust me, you have never seen a glow-in-the-dark Halloween piece like this! 
http://www.notyourgrandmothersneedlepoint.com/2014/04/boo-its-halloween.html

This was the fall mystery from Bedecked and Beadazzled, using a canvas from Hal Mayforth.

The second piece is also from Bedecked and Beadazzled.  This is a Lani collage stitched in a Meredith Willet class by the wildly talented Palma Seljan and made into a table.

Boo Beads and More

Ruth Schmuff has finished her mystery piece for Halloween.  He's funny, from the beads on Boo to those tiny little feet to the metallic background and those white emote lines. Bet they glow in the dark! His hands wave and his teeth glow. He's really a scream. LOL

The next mystery class will be the Christmas Bird Collage.   Stay tuned....

Row of Ladies Mystery with a Twist Finished (and Started!) UPDATED

Ruth Schmuff just finished her first Mystery with a Twist canvas, a series of six Asian ladies, all in fancy outfits.   Ruth decided that some folks enjoy relaxed mystery classes that are more than a few months long and which aren't really set to any deadline.  This is the result.

UPDATE:  Ruth has managed to talk Lee Designs into a companion piece.  Six more ladies in fancy outfits!  This will be an upcoming Mystery with a Twist piece for the shop.  Email Ruth if you want to stitch the second row or if you never got around to the first row.

The next Mystery with a Twist is Melissa Shirley's Holiday Village.  You can see it here about a third of the way down the page.

By the way, Ruth's regular mystery class (Hal Mayforth's Boo) is coming right along.  Who would have thought to have little waving ghost hands!

Halloween's Funky Scream UPDATED

Ruth Schmuff has announced the fall Mystery class at Bedecked and Beadazzled. It's a screaming ghost done in the funky Hal Mayforth style.  This one's going to be interesting.  It's on 13 count and is 8x11, just a bit smaller than a sheet of typing paper.  (Does anyone call it typing paper anymore?  Am I showing my age?)
http://www.notyourgrandmothersneedlepoint.com/2013/07/whats-new.html

I can't imagine what Ruth will do with this cartoonish ghost to add bling, interest and laughs to a canvas that isn't my style at all.  I'm betting when Ruth finishes with him, he will be right up my alley, though.

UPDATE:  Here he is, stitched and finished!
http://www.notyourgrandmothersneedlepoint.com/2014/04/boo-its-halloween.html

If this is just up your alley but you don't have time for a class in your schedule right now, check out the other Hal Mayforth canvases that Ruth distributes on her website.
