Yesterday, we received the the canvases and directions for the pre-class kits for Carole Lake St. Basil's cathedral. The entire pre-class kit should be ready for pick-up or shipment on Tuesday; we want to give participants as much time as possible to do the pre-work.
Of course, it's always fun to open a box filled with needlepoint canvases. But this box also contained Carole's absolutely stunning finished piece. I have seen it before in person and thought it was magnificent. But I've just been look at the photo more recently; it just doesn't do the piece justice.
Each individual dome has such character. Carole's use of threads and stitches is fabulous. If you've been thinking about signing up but have hesitated, you should come in to see the finished piece. We only have two openings left for each class. The piece will be on display until the class starts on March 25.
Instead of showing a picture of the entire piece, I thought these close-ups would give you a better sense of the artistry. Each building and dome is unique.
