Blue Birds stitched using the needle painting technique

Since I love to do Long and Short Stitch, I stitched this design using Appleton's yarn and DMC cotton floss for highlights. I think the design was a iron-on transfer but it was done years ago, so am not sure.

He has a page here to look at and photos on the Facebook group for TAST. His work is very imaginative and creative, he commented on your work just before my comment if you look down the page.

Comment by Kippy Honda on June 15, 2012 at 19:14: I love you Cookie :D Luiz is the lovely gentleman who commented right before Mandy - he is a member of stitchin'fingers and an artisan in stitching and in architecture, and probably more :)

Comment by Cookie Ziemba on June 15, 2012 at 18:35: Hi Mandy, I am puzzled...who is Luiz and where can I see his artistry?

Comment by Mandy Currie on June 15, 2012 at 18:03: You are indeed a master Cookie, and that comes from Luiz who is also a master artisan.
