Rio Rincon and companion canvas' designed by Terry Medaris for
Sundance Designs were framed and photographed at different times accounting for the variations in appearance here. However, in reality they are identical in color and size. Earlier this week I returned from the framer where I left my first born and my leg; the framer knew it would be folly to take my arm so a leg and a kid is the going cost of framing these days....apparently.
These are just a few of Mr. Medaris' designs featuring stylized depictions of life in the southwest. Rio came complete with stitch guide and threads and were purchased at
Old Town Needlework located in Scottsdale, AZ. The three companion pieces were stitched with threads and stitches stolen from the Rio kit. Otherwise I would not have been able to have them framed and they would have been hanging on the wall with push pins. :) Sorry the photos are sort of cattywampus.

I know what you mean about the cost of framing: I took two pieces in Saturday. One was only 4 x 6 inches, the other my father's Central Park piece, considerably larger. Even with a 50% off coupon I was shocked!! I think they jack up the prices by 75% before issuing the coupons! Your pieces are lovely, despite the cost.
ReplyDeleteA striking set. I do love your work. I see you did go back and out line the tee pee in black. Good move.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely smashing! You are fortunate to have a terrific framer, in spite of the cost!
ReplyDeleteHi Madonna,
ReplyDeleteBeautifully stitched and framed!
I believe that framing can really make a piece and it's worth every penny!

Anne, I guess we could always learn how to cut mats and frame...NOT! :) I would not have been so surprised but, the one southwest piece priced out at 4 times the price of either the red kitty or the geisha kitties. The latter pieces were framed by a shop I hadn't used before. Think they did a very nice job and am anxious to establish a mutual rapport with them. The framer of the southwest pieces is highly experienced in framing stitched work, but at some point you just cannot afford them no matter how much you'd like too. Thank you for your comment today.

ReplyDeleteMargaret,
ReplyDeleteYou are so good for my heart, thank you kindly for your comments. I thought the teepee could use some definition, glad you agree. I don't know why that photo is so fuzzy, must have had a wrong setting on the camera. Thanks again for visiting my blog and taking the time to comment.

Hi Liz,
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about the importance of a decent framer; anything that is framed poorly is costly at any price. Thank you for your compliment and for visiting here today. Madonna
Hi Cyn,
ReplyDeleteYou are so good to me, oh faithful reader. I am always waiting to hear what you think and very much appreciate your taking time to comment. Wish my photo turned out better, maybe in the dead of night I'll sneak in and replace it. :) Hope you're doing well despite all the rain you've had. Madonna
