Plan or with Extras !





This is something new from Squiggee....the coral with corner shell design can stand on it's own ...it is 8.5 "sq on 18st...and would be great all by itself..or you have the option to applique one of several Squiggee shaped shells on top to give it depth....the shells and the pillow will make their debut in Long Beach...Squiggee also has some fun fish and a sand dollar that would be a great addition....just think how this would look in one of those great Stirling bags......remember beach season is in sight for those stitches looking ahead to sunshine...lol

Picky Picky


I can see why customers want a painted canvas rather than count from a graph in a book...OK if you are doing a small piece , but lets be real !!! most of the complicated graphs are just a horrifying task...and if the customer requires a deign from a graph to be altered...then they really do need help....I find that most graphs are too picky picky...fussy.....this lady with the head shell gear was altered to fit a space... she was square and had more shells...and her colors were softened.....she reminded me of Medusa in flower and shell form......snakes are not my thing at all...so flowers are just fine....so now the customer can sit back and relax and work her canvas....
although I thought the whole point of graphs are to save the expense of the painted canvas...
the painted canvas will never go out of fashion.....and is far more relaxing than a graph to work from......she does have the look of another world...she could reside in a Victorian formal garden....just waiting to be kissed and the spell broken...she would be released and be a whole ,tall ,slender beautiful woman ,in a shear floral print dress holding a single shell.... her long golden tresses bound only buy a blue silk ribbon...wooooooooo...too many fairy tales when I was young..!!!!
