Masterworks through Time
Starting the Canvas #1
Wheee, silk threads with 14 count mono canvas feels like the super fast zip line compared to the kiddie bumper car ride of the 22 count Penelope canvas in wool for the Cluny tapestry I just finished. I started the Gauguin “The Day of the God” dining room seat cover last night, very exciting, as it is my first experience with silk. It feels so nice, perhaps I can say goodbye to these calluses on my fingertips. My fingertips frequently peel from doing so much stitchery with wool. Does anyone have any advice on how to avoid/treat this problem??? (Other than switching to silk!)
