Harvest Time!




Here in Sonoma County, while the afternoon heat warms the land, grapes are being harvested in the vineyards, and the roads rumble with big trucks carrying bins of just-picked grapes as they head off to be crushed for wine.  And it occurred to me that it's a perfect time to offer an "encore presentation" of one of my most popular cyber classes: HARVEST TIME.

HARVEST TIME really is the perfect project for this time of year, because it has lovely autumn colors, plus lots of small, medium and large grapes on it!  And with just three emailed lessons, it's a short and sweet class that you can easily finish in a very short time...


It's a 7.5" x 7.5" piece stitched on 18 ct. sandstone mono canvas with one Watercolours (047 - Camouflage) and a handful of #5 pearl cottons (in greens and burgundys) plus two different metallic ribbons (burgundy and gold). Here's a peek at it up-close, so you can see the different sizes of grapes in the piece:


If you want to read more about HARVEST TIME and sign up for this popular class, please visit my website and click on the LJP CYBER CLASSES tab. (And if it makes you want to pour a glass of wine and contemplate the changing of the seasons, you can go right ahead and do that too!)

So excited that you've brought this one back! I kicked myself for procrastinating and missing out on it last year. Not this time!
