Bringing in the New year

After getting such a great response at Arts on Queen in December, I am making some new pieces to bring to the store as soon as I can. On New Year's Eve I spent the day at the Contemporary Textile Studio drawing and picking embroidery colours for 9 new pieces - three that will be framed in 8 in x 10 in shadow boxes and six that will be 6 in x 6 in shadow boxes. I am particularly excited about the series of three Canadian Owls. 

I will also be embroidering a series of tree portraits since they do so well in the store. I found a fabulous variegated embroidery thread at The Workroom that I love working with and used it to fill in the tree trunks. I love the cream to brown variegation!

Stay tuned for progress on these pieces! I am hoping to have them delivered to Arts on Queen in the next couple of weeks, unless you snag one first!
