We received some wonderful Christmas ornament canvases from Barbara Bergsten in our trunk show. I love having a trunk show with samples because it helps me to visualize what the finished canvas will actually look like.
The polar bear's hat makes quite a statement with its Byzantine stitch done in holiday colors. But it also lets the simplicity of the polar bear stand out. I've also included a picture of the unstitched canvas so you can compare.
There is a whole series of penguin ornaments, on either #18 or #13 canvas. Again, to help you visualize, I've shown the painted canvas and the finished sample. You could easily do a whole family of penguins.
