					<description><![CDATA[  Let&#8217;s make a lovely little ornament. I&#8217;m using Miyuki twisted bugle beads, number 6, 11, and 15 seed beads, and a felt ball. I use a #11 straw or applique needle and Nymo or Sylamide beading thread.   Knot your thread &#8211;  push it straight through then knot on the other end just to be safe. Trim the tail. Place a #6 bead on the needle, slide it down, then pick up a #11 on the needle without sliding it down.    Stick the needle back down through the #6 hole then straight out through the other side.    Make a knot there to be safe then make this same little stack at each pole and on each of the four directions of your little globe. After you&#8217;ve made your six stacks, make a knot as close to underneath the bead as possible. If your thread is too short get another one ready.    Load on a #11, a bugle, and another #11 &#8211; keep the  last bead on the needle. Slide the needle back through the bugle and bottom seed bead and come out on the other side of the #6. Make six of these bugle stacks around [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[For once I had enough presence of mind to take photos of my process as I worked. I thought I&#8217;d share with you my process for facing a quilt. I don&#8217;t often &#8220;bind&#8221; my works because most of my compositions would not benefit from that line enclosing the edges. A facing finishes your edges by turning them entirely to the back of the quilt. Any quilt you are going to display on a wall also needs a hanging sleeve. I include mine as part of the facing. If you enjoy making smaller textile art pieces, and want a LOT of ideas for how to frame, mount, and present them in a professional way, you might enjoy my on-demand workshop: Picture It Framed.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[If you missed part 1 of this tutorial you can find it here or scroll to the previous post. I&#8217;m mounting these small embroideries to give them more presence. Many viewers might not have had any experience with textiles in a fine art setting can immediately appreciate  them as works of ART when they see them framed or mounted like a painting. Also &#8211; I just really like them this way. Now that my canvas is painted in a way that will enhance and support my textile art, I’m ready to mount the works. I chose to wire the backs before mounting the embroideries as that process is a little rougher and I wanted to be gentle with the artwork.         This works fine for these pieces because they have a layer of wool felt that keeps the medium from bleeding through to the top layer of cloth. If I only have one layer of cloth I would sew the work directly to the canvas.     Hope youve enjoyed watching his process. My online course, Picture it Framed, offers a whole boatload of video lessons with other options for mounting and framing textile work.  Learn more [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The small embroideries I’ve made for my solo show, Sone, Water, Time, are lovely little pieces of art. But most of the general public doesn’t have a lot of experience with textiles as fine art so they might just think, “we’ll thats a fancy potholder” when they see them.  I love to present small works like these in a way that every viewer can immediately understand as “Art.” Sometimes that means framing. For these pieces I’ve chosen to mount them on 2” deep gallery wrapped canvases. It beings the work itself to the front, rather than being protected and surrounded by a frame. I also like to make the canvas into an integral part of the artwork. In this case I’ve used thermofax screens with mill wheels and printed those images with light molding paste onto the canvases. It’s almost invisible until you start adding in some paint. I’m going for a very subtle textural background that will support rather than compete with the embroideries. You can make these background textures as strong or as subtle as you’d like. I love layers of subtle texture  that allows the viewer to discover more and more visual interest as they spend time [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Let me tell you a funny story. My husband loves me dearly and supports me in every way. He is, after all, Mr. Almost Perfect! He is also an engineer and has admitted that he does not &#8220;get&#8221; art. He&#8217;s happy I do it but it has yet to touch his soul. The first time I showed him one of my small textile works in a frame his exact words were, &#8220;Wow! That looks like ART!&#8221; I had to take more than one very deep breaths thinking, &#8220;What did it look like before?&#8221; As soon as my head cleared I had something of an epiphany&#8230; or at least a &#8220;duh&#8221; moment. Most people have no real life experience with textile art. If they see a fancy little bit of fabric they might only have grandma&#8217;s potholders to relate it to. Framing your small textile works presents them in a format that is immediately understood by everyone as ART! Over the next week I&#8217;m going to show you a few of the ways to present your smaller textile art pieces. First up is mounting your work on gallery wrapped canvas. Begin with a small, finished textile piece. In this case it&#8217;s [&#8230;]]]></description>
