The White Rabbit was not late for his very important date! and what a date is was! I did get up at 3am to watch the Royal Wedding. How about you? Was I out of my mind or what? ooh but it was worth every moment to have gotten up at this crazy hour of the morning to witness history. It was thrilling, spectacular, breathtaking, touching, moving and at times left me speechless.
In case you are curious about this canvas that you have seen the last few nights, here it is! Alice in Wonderland by Lani. I had originally planned to use this canvas to kick off the blog with and I travelled all the way to Bedecked and Beadazzled in Baltimore to take classes with Brenda Hart herself. That is where I saw the Rainbow Birds and the rest is history! When you think that this canvas doesn’t look like me…well there is a cat in it, isn’t there? I must admit that I haven’t stitched on this much and hopefully can get back to it later this year. I have the threads and lots of beads all ready to go and some exciting stitches, but too much in front of it now.
I am on a road trip tomorrow, beads, framers, breakfast and A Stitch in Time and not necessarily in that order. I need to be on the road by 6:30AM…ooh the sacrifices I make for my stitching! and until next time…keep on stitching
Now this I’ve got to see! Big pieces like this which have a lot of elements going are hard for me to stitch so I can’t wait to see what you and Brenda come up with, Vicky.
Yes Jane it is a big piece, but really it is not! I will treat each section as it’s own separate canvas. That’s what I love about Lani’s collages so much, as I look forward to the experience of traveling from section to section. I will do all the beading first, clock numbers, all the wording and the gold border between everything, then stitch section by section.
I’ve admired the Alice canvas several times. I can’t wait to see what you do with it.
