Whilst I am thoroughly enjoying opening my advent calendars from Stich Supply Company and Studio 7T7, I felt I should accomplish something every day. I decided that some of my cross-stitch pieces should be finished and ay frame that I no longer like, will be redonated to a charity shop.
The first of four framed pieces this week designed by Barbara Ana. Some of her designs are available in her Kofi shop Support Barbara Ana designs and some are available from Creative Poppy until they close their doors.
This was a simple framing job as no painting was required. I glued wadding to the mountboard and added the mount.
I love this wintery piece. It has a layer of wadding behind the piece and then is stapled onto the canvas.
This too a little more effort as I painted a few coats of chalky white to the frame and I covered the mount with some fabric from Carolyn Friedlander.
This petite strawberry piece is mounted in a frame from Atelier Bonheur which I purchased at Pour L'Amour du Fils show in Nantes. Perfect for a summer display. I have a heart shaped from the same company but first I need to find all of the pieces!
I have pulled a further six pieces and frames, so I hope I can keep up my momentum. At the weekend, I plan to mend one item and list some other items on Ecycle.
