I'm looking forward to seeing more of the marks you make on fabric and paper.

When the person answered with "Bonjour", I could at least respond in kind, but then my 5 years of French betrayed me and fled and I couldn't even think how to ask if the kind lady spoke English...in French, that is. Thankfully she did and I placed a tentative order. Seems their black denim paper is extremely popular right now. Someone is to call back to finalize the order. Woohoo! I'll have more Canal paper pads. Now...to plan a trip to Montreal...

My problem is one of accounting and impatience. To order enough sheets to yield the same number of pages as the pad once they're cropped is, basically, twice what the pad cost. Artisan quoted 8 weeks (here's where the impatience comes in...) and, well, I'd hoped to have the pads sooner. Let's see, wait 8 weeks or wait until my next visit to Santa Fe in October and hope there are some in stock. 8 weeks it is!

It's been an interesting experience so far - sometimes when working from the back, I'll see where the next stitch will go, but once back to the front the stitch changes its mind and goes elsewhere.

And, by the way, in all the years I've been visiting SF, I've not heard of Artisan!! Can't wait to get over there in August and check it out. That city is a celebration of what's possible with fiber and never fails to inspire me in infinite ways.nanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01049366904095491469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7143591766928521449.post-4553832106268282402016-01-31T14:32:53.486-05:002016-01-31T14:32:53.486-05:00I can't help with the paper query - and anyway...I can't help with the paper query - and anyway nothing in the UK is likely to be of help at all ... but the stitching is just lovely ... all of it, past and present. <br />Here, I like the stitching into random holes and from the back, with some stitches crossing over each other, some large and some small. It gives such a sense of dynamism. I especially like the way the stitching in #5 and particularly number #6 is beginning to break randomly from the confines of the square. <br />Definitely something to think about ...!Charlton Stitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052815242463837033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7143591766928521449.post-87282413719638844352016-01-31T14:26:28.101-05:002016-01-31T14:26:28.101-05:00Thank you Pam!Thank you Pam!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927317459104273331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7143591766928521449.post-16100895688096775202016-01-31T14:26:18.886-05:002016-01-31T14:26:18.886-05:00Ha!

From what I've found online, the pad is still less than an appropriate number of full sheets that would yield the same size pieces when cropped. Does that make sense?
