If you like mermaids, you'll love this one.  Stay tuned.  I'll update this article as Ruth reveals each lesson.  The class starts in April 2021 and ends in early June 2021, so let Ruth know now if you want to participate.  More canvases will be available in August 2021 in case you are sorry you didn't sign up.

Hair and sea waves are first.

Ruffles and beads and seaweed and more waves!

And now we have Princess Leia buns on a mermaid (the rest of her hair is spectacular, too).

The seaweed is lovely but that Swarovski fabric on the mermaid tails is fabulous!

An Interview with Diana Bosworth

Thanks to Janet Perry, I've discovered an interview with Diana Bosworth.  I didn't know she was a shop owner at one time!

If the article makes you want to know more, visit The French Knot's website and admire her Petei Santas.

I don't see the little booklet "Beards I Have Known" on their website but they surely have copies, so contact the shop.  It's a great little idea book!

The Floral Bench

A shop owner stitched four of Jean Smith's florals, then had them made into a bench cushion!

It's a very clever idea and perfect for those big canvases you love but don't know how to finish.
