French Knot Paintings!

 Soooo exciting!  This is the first of my french knot painting series!

 The richness of the surface is so beautiful!

 The amount of control I have with the image through the DMC floss is the most surprising discovery.  This technique feels a lot like painting with oil paint and a brush.

On to the next one!


Cheers!

New pattern!

I have just released a new pattern- Pomegranates! This pattern is taken from a commission painting I did for a friend. She had the painting done for her parents for the Christmas Holiday last year.
I will be loading it on the website this weekend so you can order a chart soon! Www.ninestonesneedlework.com



Cheers!

Commission!

 I was hired by a friend to paint some watercolors of the product he imports-Bela Sardines- www.belasardines.com!  I have to tell you, I had never tried sardines but am now a regular consumer of the small tasty fish!  It was fun to paint the charming cans and the wonderful vegetables and foods you combine with sardines in preparation.  I highly recommend seeking out this brand because people have told me they are better than what they remember- not fishy, and high quality olive oil too!

 Another fun thing I discovered is that I like this kind of commission!  I am supplying my friend with three watercolors, framed and I am working with a printer to have note cards printed up with the images on them.

You can friend Bela on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/pages/BELA/27926172544?ref=ts
Enjoy!

Bulbs!

I thought maybe bulbs would add to the flower theme with a twist!
