The needlepoint adaptation of the Pacific Northwest Indian art is coming along and will be available as my initial eProject August 1.
While the color scheme is very restrained, there’s lots of texture here. The red uses a narrow version of Byzantine. Combined with the Threadworx floss, you get a feeling of hand carving. White is done in T Stitch to let it recede a bit. The black is plain old needlepoint in both directions to make a smooth outline.
My happiest choice is the background. By using Rainbow Tweed and a stitch which forms textured stripes, there is a bit of feeling of wood.
I’m having such fun exploring these designs. I love their abstract, but rounded shapes and the color combination is so classic. I’m expecting this piece, my first venture in this area, will not be my last.
I’m excited about it and hope you are too.
