How to Paint a Canvas: The Movie

Labels: , ,
Aster+Daisy posted a speeded up video on Facebook showing the designer creating a Halloween canvas.   The outlines are traced, then each section is painted, with details and shading added.  It looks like the artist works from top down, which is interesting.  I know several stitchers who stitch a painted canvas top down to keep their hands off previously worked areas.  

I love we see the stitched version at the very end.  Nice work~!

Cottage Garden Threads

Labels: , , ,
Melita is having great fun at the ANG Seminar in Tucson.  She picked up some overdyed threads from an Australian company called Cottage Garden Threads.

Here is the company's website.  Looks like they sell cotton floss plus size 8 and 12 perle cotton.

You can find single skeins on Etsy but be careful to buy enough of the same dyelot if you need to cover a large area.  This thread is often available in quilting shops apparently, so if there is a quilting emporium in your area, inquire if they carry Cottage Garden Threads.  

I also found a nice selection available through Terry Bay Needlework Designs.  I am not sure where the shop is located (the website doesn't say) but it's somewhere in the USA, I think.
