Thank you for all of your lovely comments about the canvas I'm working on, but I really must give credit where credit is due, especially since I am completely incapable of devising a thread/color/stitch scheme that doesn't end up looking like the dog's breakfast.
Unless, of course, it's MY dog we're talking about -- in which case breakfast consists of tea and lightly buttered toast, all served apres' bath on a whimsical little bed tray with the Times and a tea rose for effect.
Damn dog.
When I purchased this canvas, I asked Miss Ruth Schmuff Her Very Self from Bedecked and Beadazzled to kit/craft/tart the whole thing up as only Miss Ruth can do. She selected all of the threads and stitches and told me when/where/how to do everything so that I could show it to y'all and feel like a freakin' rock star.
She's fabulous that way.
Lots of questions about the bird....she's stitched with a fiber called Fuzzy Stuff made by Rainbow Gallery. Miss Ruth suggested that I turkey work her, but this is me we're talking about, so I just did a few long and short stitches and then fluffed the fiber with a little brush.
I'm still plugging away on the grass. Who knew that it could take so long to grow?
Thanks for the info on the bird. I have to stitch a stork and I was stymied until today.
ReplyDeleteYou are being too modest. It takes talent to pull off all those wonderful stitches and the focus of an artiste to pull it all off :)
ReplyDeleteI need to introduce Stewey to the Eggo waffle with about 1/2 cup of Country Crock spread on it. He'll never go back to lightly buttered toast!
