Final details for Wailing Woods

 After stitching in a ghost in the window and the bushes, I added some fog at the bottom.

The overall closeup shows the "man in the tree" and the eyes in the roof!  This is a fun, fast piece to add to the Halloween collection!  Canvas and stitch guides are now available!

Wailing Woods details

 I started with the background and worked the trees after I had filled it in down to the roof line.  I then worked the second story of the house.

Next came all of the first floor and the rest of roof there.

Here is Jane's link to photos of  all of the stitched pieces!

There are eight designs in the series and 5 of them come with stitch guides!

  This is finished as a standup....cute!

Here is what the piece and stitch guide look like!  More close ups tomorrow!

Ta da!

The dress is all beaded and so is her shoe!  On to the bustle of the dress!

Hot off the printer!

I finished the stitched guide for the Elizabeth Turner Collection stocking cuff XC-10 and it is ready to deliver.....working on others too!

Art Prize 2015

Friday was the first of many trips to Art Prize 2015.  Over 1500 artists display their work over a 3 square mile area of Grand Rapids, Michigan from September 23 to October 11th!  There is a juried prize and a popular vote prize--both of which are substantial!  You can read more about it here:

We always visit at least 3 different days to see all of the entries.  I will show you some of the inspirational pieces over the next week and try to focus mostly on the needle art variety.  The one pictured above is not all needlework however!  The dress and train are made from old library book pages!  It is called Vintage Dream and the artist is Reagen Kazyak.

This piece has stumpwork wings and antlers with his sew and padded fabric body and his wing span is about 24 inches across.  Titled Zammara Circada by Molly Burgess.

Material me and friends is by Joel Fremion and was created using fabric and sewing machine.  The detail and shadings are amazing!

Let the beading begin!

So I am adding silver beads to the black dress.  They fit nicely in the well of the stitches.  I worked down to the drapes today and hope to get the rest of the dress done tomorrow!
