Majolica by Kessler
Friday, October 28, 2011
Artist Marian Kessler credits her sense of colour to growing up in the
spectacular landscapes of northern New Mexico.
Kessler developed a
deep-rooted love of different artistic media from the patchwork of
cultures in the American Southwest. Her intricate mixed media collages
are influenced by her interests in archaeology and folk art, science and
myth, as well as a strong belief in the validity of fine craft as an
art form.
We think of her needlepoint canvases as an art form as well!
Majolica II (above) is one of series by Kessler.
Available in several
sizes. Will make a terrific seat cushion.
A Little Something to Take With You
Monday, October 24, 2011
Here's a little something to take with you that I made, said Paula to her son as he packed for college.
What a wonderful way to give a little of yourself and a terrific use of a small canvas!
Thanks for sharing this with us Paula!
A Recommendation
Wednesday, October 19, 2011
When
I first went on Art Needlepoint's website, I couldn’t' believe the
variety of canvases that were offered, each better than the next. When I
ordered the canvases, I finally decided that I wanted to try Chaim
Parchi's “The five books of Moses".
I ordered all of the threads with
the canvases, all at once. The real thrill was that I ordered 6 canvases and got 2 for free. You must be think "she must be crazy", to
get so many canvases at once. I must say when I received the
canvases, and saw the detail that was in them, I didn't know how or if
they were going to be as nice as the original works.
Having started to work on the canvases of the "Five books of Moses", I decided to work all of the black
details first. In doing that, it was much easier to see the color differential. I sat with a bunch of needle
pointers one night in our local shop, they suggested to me that I go to "Michaels" to get the Ott light in
order for me to see the different colors, plus it does help with eye strain. They told me to get a 50% coupon
from the store, because the light costs $80.00. The end result was I only paid $40.00 for the light, which was
a nice savings. The canvases became much easier to work with using the light and doing the black outlining.
At this point, I consider this an investment, since needlepointing has become a full time interest for me.
Once they are
completed, I will send in pictures of the completed project. I hope
these suggestions have helped my fellow needle pointers, who are
interested in and working on, Chaim Parchi's art canvases.
Happy Stitching
