This has been a great learning curve to rise to the challenge of creating enough work for a display. I'm definitely in love with thread painting! I just can't get enough. ; )

It's even more of a learning curve to finish, mount, mat and frame. After Gardenscapes, I will be taking up the three unfinished commissions I've started. Once May hits, I'll hopefully be all done so that I can work on the next show. YES, another show! It is a group exhibit at the Forestry Farm's heritage building, a one day only fundraiser. It's titled, "Spring Art Show & Sale" that will feature 10 local artists (photographers, painters, and quilting/fibre). Here's their logo:
And I have EVEN MORE surprises... but first, it's Tips on Tuesdays tomorrow. See you then!

These look great Monika! I love the little blue flowers, and the oat field has just captured the Sask prairie!
AMAZING!!! You do incredible work and so quickly. Hugs
Gorgeous work, as always, Monika! Your thread painting is just incredible.
I'm so excited for you Monika!!! They look awesome and another show WOW!
Stay inspired!
not only are you talented, but you complete a project very quickly!
This is really amazing. I'm so impressed with what you create with thread.
Thanks you guys! It's not fast, really it's not. : ) Everyone keeps saying that and i'm not sure why. I've spent a week on a 5x7" piece. All I did this weekend was a handful of french knots and satin stitched the edges. I am working daily because I have a lot to produce. Maybe that's what you're seeing? ; )
thank you so much for all the compliments. It boosts my courage factor, that's for sure!

Really lovely!
Hey thanks for the early promo about the show! The building by the way, is the Superintendent's Residence.
I am amazed at what you do considering you have small children and home school plus all the basic house functions! Amazing.
Love the oat one - want to buy it!! Think I will go to Gardenscapes just to see your work!

Wow! I should be so shocked ... all your work is totally amazing, but I am just in awe at how realistic those look. The blending you do with those different colors is just stunning. I only wish I could see how you thread paint. It really high on my list of things to try! Wishing you an amazing show next week!
arggg... should be "shouldn't" in the first line of my comment (that's what I get for typing too fast while eating lunch at the same time)
