Tea Party

A storybook scene: cats and little dogs gathered for tea in a flowering garden, with a rose-trimmed hot air balloon rising among wisteria and shrubs. No needle and thread here: you peel back a small section of the adhesive canvas at a time, pick up the drills with the stylus and wax, and place them following the printed symbols. The 3 iridescent AB colours add sparkle to key parts of the design.

It is a large piece, so it helps to work section by section and re-roll the part you are not using. The frame is not included: once finished, the canvas can be stretched or framed under glass. A relaxing project, suitable for newcomers too.
