NEW PATTERNS

 I have added 5 new patterns to my website!  www.lizartneedlepoint.com
They are all on the "Bargello 2/Needlepoint" page.
The 4 Bargello designs are at the top of that page and the Leaping Stag is at the very bottom of that page.
I hope you like them.

Leaping Stag WINNER

Leaping Stag

Sorry I haven't posted again since I got home from seminar!  I've been waiting for the sun to come out to get decent pictures.  Here in Las Vegas it is the Monsoon Season, which means that we have mostly cloudy days interspersed with thunderstorms.  It is supposed to clear up by the weekend, but I decided to go ahead & just get not-as-good photos!

Lest you forget (tee hee) here is a photo of Leaping Stag with his 3rd place ribbon.  I'm soooo proud of him!

And, yes, eventually I'll get him charted & available on my website, but don't hold your breath, "eventually" is the key word here!

Leaping Stag

You have not seen this piece before.  Several years ago I was working on ANG's Master Needle Artist program and this is one of the pieces I developed during that program.  I was unable to complete the program, but I do love this design!
The Leaping Stag was a common motif during the Art Deco period.  His body is the only part of this design that has textured stitches and they are worked with Watercolours.  The rest of the piece is in tent stitch with floss.

This piece has been tacked up on my office wall for several years and I just had it framed. 
The pic of the framed piece didn't come out too well, color wise.
