Innovative needlepoint

Floating Flowers
11.5 x 23 inches

Art needlepoint images with decorated wooden frames. I did many in this series when my kids were small and we were rambling over several countries and continents for a few years, which made attacking anything larger too difficult. The wooden frames painted with acrylics and decorated sometimes with sequins came along once we settled down from our travels.

In most pleces, many colors are used in place of just one simple one to create a more lively surface.

Femme/ Fleur
8 x 17 inches

Sponging on the wooden frame with turquoise and gold paints. I mixed petit point with the regular needlepoint stitch for the flowers on her head and added mercerized cotton to the white wool background for some added lustre.
