So, about that light bulb! I kept coming across images of some of my first pieces. Most were big, daunting projects. Still, there was something that felt good about the scenes. So, I decided to make up the 'crowd favorites' once again but in a smaller, more affordable size. (Think - Mother's Day presents hint hint.) Also, if you missed out on your favourite in the past, here's your chance.
I did it! They are all getting framed right now. There are eight minis along with a handful of larger pieces as well. The minis are sweet little pieces - no bigger than the photos you see here. These are a few of my favorites places & memories in stitch.
This was Day's land from the highway one summer.

This was from Grasswood Road. I went out to capture the sky, and later noticed cattails in the foreground. Had to stitch it! ; )

This was the great melt down a few years ago, from Floral Road.

This was also from Grasswood Road, post-storm once the tornado warning had lifted.

They will all be under glass with double matting. I like the square shape. It's seems intimate, like a little glimpse into somewhere. They are framed to 10x10 for the wall. ALL are available and will be for sale at Gardenscape first. I'll post what remains available next week here on the blog.
I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek. I should have a dozen pieces of available art at Gardenscape. My volunteer shift is Sunday, but I hope to spend some time there Friday as well. Have to go see the butterflies!

Yay! I can't wait - I love "After the Storm" and "Spring Melt" the best out of those..and I remember loving the 'originals'. I'm very happy you decided to do some mini sizes! I was afraid that your stuff was going to forever be out of my price range(though I understand why), and I so want to have your work up in my house! Hopefully the minis might be something I can really consider! Very excited. -Katie
Always love your stitched minis. The use of the selvage edge in Sky & Cattails is inspiring!
Потрясающе красиво!!!!
They are all beautiful! The stitching and texture makes me want to look closer but wow, those skies! The small size is a great idea.
I love them all and I think the mini size is perfect. Good luck :)
Beautiful, Monika! I especially enjoy the Sky and Cattails and After the Storm.
They are all gorgeous and I love them being square. xx
