Copper River Canyon completed
I completed Mary K. Campbell's piece Copper River Canyon last month and am finally posting pictures. The design is based on an interpretation of the topography of a desert canyon presented in thread and beads on canvas. The beads add dimension and texture to the piece. The black work adds depth. It was taught as a class through Cyberpointers a few years ago.
I added the stitched border around the edges which makes the piece look more finished and complete. I have not decided how to finish the piece. I could add it to a bag or make it into a purse, but it would also be attractive inset into a pillow.

Very nice! I'm very close to finishing mine...need to dig it out. The border really does add to it. What stitch did you use for the border?
ReplyDeleteI used basketweave with the darkest of the waterlillies from the original design. The border is 4 stitches wide.
