While Matisse is not my favorite artist, I do love his cut-outs and think those bold shapes and colors look glorious translated into needlepoint.
But what if I want it to look a little different? On my own it would be hard to combine elements from two or more cut-outs into a single piece, but with this widget I can combine stuff to my heart’s content. I can make elements larger or smaller, rotate them, or remove them. If I don’t like, I can clear it and start again.
The only thing I can’t do here is change the colors.
And when I’m done I can print the result on color. From there I can make it larger, trace it onto canvas and pick colors. Pretty good for something which is so much fun!
Try it for yourself!

Oh. My. Gosh. This is the coolest toy ever! I’m definitely going to blab about it on CraftGossip–with credit to you for the find, of course.
Thank you so much for this juicy tidbit!

Isn’t it fun though?
