Description: |
With
an interest in oriental art, I adapted this piece from a note card.
While I was designing the piece, I wanted to try to achieve a
watercolor effect by using a sheer fabric and stitching both under and
over the fabric.
Three of the fish and some of the ripples were stitched, and then
the fabric was stretched over the canvas.
The remaining fish and ripples were then stitched.
The effect turned out as I hoped it would. One of the things I enjoy doing is designing stitch guides for painted canvases using fibers and stitches in new and creative ways. I also enjoy teaching people not to be afraid to experiment with their needlepoint – you can always do the “Frog Stitch” – rip it, rip it! |
