Here’s my progress on the brand new design by Melissa Shirley. Lovin’ this piece!
Close up of the flower. My dear friend Becki (who also works at the shop) showed me this technique of stretching flair.
How cool!
The scroll work
The base of the jar
Details of the border and background
Lid of the jar
Now on to the middle!
This is breath taking. Will you be selling your stitch guide and threads?
I will happily write up a stitch guide as soon as I finish.
Spectacular!!!!
Please do write one. This is so spectacular.
Would love to purchase your stitch guide as well. It’s fabulous!
Incredible!! I also would like to purchase the canvas & stitch guide.
Add me to the list of those interested in a stitch guide. What you have done is awesome, incredible, etc. also, details on how to stretch Flair would be appreciated in a future blog. I use it a lot and new applications of a thread are always interesting. Thanks.
Will do! I am close to finishing the piece, so the stitch guide should be ready soon. I will definitely do a blog about stretching flair. I will take pictures of how I do it on the jar. Great idea!
Thank you so much. I saw a canvas just back from Long Beach that used the technique, but how it was done is a mystery.
