The Horse Menagerie Carousel Needle Punch (in progress)


Hi Everyone,

My newest embroidered circus project is coming along. I am excited about how the figure is developing.

This amusement ride (once called the Horse Ballet) will be mounted on a wooden carousel pole. 

I will update you as the project continues!

Carousel Rabbit Punch Needle

Hi Everyone,

The Rabbit Menagerie Figure.

Oh those colorful and magical Carousel days!  (Golden age 1840-1930).  Sad to think an old art form gone by. There are less than 200 left!

Carousels  (Italian - Carosello)  where first introduced to the USA in the early 1800's.  A beautiful era gone by.

 I decided to mix this era with an old Russian embroidery technique.  Here you see what was called the
Jumper.  He is the Carousel figure that has all four feet off the ground suspended through the air.  Thanks for looking,  Jana

Shell Wreath

We had a great relaxing day making seashell wreaths! A glass of wine each and some friends got the job done! I left with a nautical wreath for the door of our guest room. Gather all your materials and wrap the wreath with hemp cord the day before and don't forget to make a loop with the hemp so you can hang the project.  You need a quality glue gun, hemp, hay wreath, and sea shells to make project.  So grab some friends and make a shell wreath in an afternoon! Thanks,  Jana

Frosty Petit Point Finished


Frosty Finished. Petit Point.  He was a fun project.  I will use him as a Christmas tree ornament! He was completed on 40 count silk gauze with 1-strand of 6 ply DMC Floss using a #28 tapestry needle.  Thanks, Jana
