I know I stole that line from SNL but a lot can happen in a week. Yesterday I bought a new macro lens for my camera so I can get some better close up shots of my canvases in progress. I just jumped right in without reading the manual so give me some time. I'm torn between two canvases - sort of like the Republicans (although I've made up my mind there). I am also discovering that there are a lot of common techniques in both canvases. So here are some of my shots...

| Snowman hat |
The grapes are covered beads just like on the polar bear's hat:

| Lettuce and Grapes |

| Acorns "before" |
The acorn tops are done in the same weaving stitch as the snowman's hat:

| Acorns after |
I'm not 100% sure about the lettuce, but I'm leaving it in for now. And I used the wrong color green memory thread on the stem for the grapes, but that's easy to replace. I kind of like it . We will see when the other leaves are in.
Off to ride my bike!

I like the lettuce (cabbage?) myself. Looks good enough to eat to me!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jane. I know you were the inspiration behind the pumpkin so I may try that next!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures....enjoying your new lens and the way it captures your beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cindy. But it's like HD tv - you will be able to see all the mistakes too!
ReplyDeleteI think the lettuce looks just like Kelly's. You are doing a great job and making me wish I had jumped in. I am waiting on Amy's Thanksgiving House as my major project this year.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see more from you!
Thanks Steph. I still have the creche to finish! I am trying to break these projects up into small pieces- yesterday was the acorns! Today I am back to Santa...
