Mixing it up Again - Manhatten Skyline .....

       One piece of canvas, some paint, thread and a needle.

The idea that pictures can be worked on a blocked canvas inspired me to try it with canvaswork.

Here the canvas has been washpainted and then the design stitched and a little painting too. Using warm colours from old bricks to suggest the fabric of the buildings.

A Manhatten theme immediately sprang to mind .. all those high rise buildings I suppose.

This is not technically needlepoint or embroidery as it includes the two different styles .. hence the name canvaswork.

The whole is mounted and stretched on a blocked canvas so it can be hung as a picture.

Liked the idea so much Im working on a few .. still working small though.:)
