Gossipy Geisha Kitties designed by Patt and Lee Designs
This was a very fun canvas to stitch. The original design depicted both kitties with white fur; I contemplated changing the fur color and ultimately decided to go with tabby colors. After living with the change for a month or so I stayed with the change.
The canvas was painted on interlock canvas, a departure from the mono canvas I was used to, and the differences though slight are not visible in the finished piece. After all was said and done, I would use interlock canvas again to keep costs down, but prefer to stitch with the more flexible mono canvas if given the choice.

A triple mat and black frame were selected but a less visible fourth "under mat" was used as a background, adding color to the areas of the canvas that were not filled with stitches. This subtle use of color changes the overall look of the stitched design, i.e. yellow was used in this case, if white would have been used the look would have been noticeably brighter.
