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
