April 16th I posted a teaser...."wait until you see what I turn this into". So, here you have it, a Biscornu...a tuffit...an ornament or what you will. The name is derived from a French adjective, meaning skewed, quirky or irregular. Right up my alley! I've always wanted to design and make a Biscornu. And Voila! I have, actually, I've designed seven as an exclusive for The Needle Works in Austin. They'll be run as a club starting in January 2013! Each hand painted design will come with a complete stitch guide by moi as well as thread kit & fabric for finishing. Fabric also designed by me to match the stitched design. Watch for future updates as I stitch my way through each design.
Contact The Needle Works at THENEEDLEWORKS.com for more information about signing up for this exclusive club.
Ooh I love biscornus!
ReplyDeleteMe too!! I've wanted to design, stitch, and assemble one for a very long time. They fascinate me. I saw the fifteen sided design on your blog, very cool!
ReplyDeleteBTW...glad you came back. Stepping back is just what one needs to do sometimes in order to go forward.
