Remember that burlap canvas that I painted? I posted it on Monday when I blogged about what was on my desk. This is it:
And this is what I did to it:
I added some simple embroidery stitches to create some more visual texture. I love the way the embroidery transforms such a simple little painting into something really beautiful and special.
I'm heading to a crop tonight with my favorite Manhattan Scrapbookers. Looking forward to it, but I always have trouble packing. I can't quite decide what I want to work on. What's portable? What do I need to get that done? And since I print photos as I go, it's so impossible to go without a printer. But I'm going to enjoy it! It will be my last crop for a while as I'm about to head into rehearsal for a brand new show! Time always seems to evaporate when I'm in rehearsal.
Have a stellar weekend!
Wow, that looks great!!!
I always have the same problem with packing for crops or workshop. I usually wait till the last moment, then i pack and it has to be that! No more unpacking. It helps!
Bless you.

Canvas embroidery – how awesome that looks! It ads both texture and structure to the piece. Nice!

I love the canvas embroidery. Was it hard to sew through the dried paint? You did a great job matching the yarn to the paint. Show stopper.

I love this! Do you think I can start with this project if I have never embroidered before?
Julie, I love your blog. I think your style is helping me discover my own style.
Have you ever thought about doing a class at Big Picture Scrapbooking? I’ve taken quite a few classes there and I think you would be fantastic!
