I feel like I’m living vicariously through Sister Diane’s CraftyPod blog and her love for plastic canvas.
Today she has another wonderful post about a great Japanese plastic canvas book.
The projects in this book include a neat, graphic pencil cup and the most adorable coin purse you can imagine.
And, like Diane, I’m fascinated by the thread which is a thick cord variegated with matte and metallic in it.
I’m thinking Gold Rush would have the combination, but not the variegated. Treasure Box would have both. These Rainbow Gallery threads are both chainettes, so they would be softer and probably flatter.
If I wanted something rounder, I almost think I would combine some Rainbow Gallery Sparkle Braid with Bravo, Encore, or Overture (whichever was the right size). It would be more matter, but that’s probably the closest substitute outside of Japan.
Check out the post, it’s very inspiring.

Thanks so much for these tips on the cord. I’ve got the names written in my journal so I can look for them next time I’m at the craft store.
