As far as tips go, I generally always work a symbol as far as I can - end of a section, or end of length of thread, as it makes sense.įor The Castle, I covered the entire dragon in multiple colors of blending filament (green BF on the green parts, blue on the blue, etc). I have English Garden Sampler and Fortunate Traveler as WIPs at the moment.
She also had a little freebie angel that I did for my MIL no idea where that went when she passed, kind of wanted that back, since it had a $200 frame on a 3x3 piece of work. I have also done Fall Carousel and Noah's Ark, which was my first evenweave project and my first over-1 stitching on said evenweave. My fingers must have been a lot stronger then to push all of those multi-thread 1/4 stitches on 22ct, holy cow! I don't have a pic of him up anywhere, either - he's in a purple frame w/purple suede matting. I also have Stretch done - I did him on 22ct and added a bunch of metallics to it. I don't seem to have a picture of it online, but I do have all of these: Fantasy Triptych This was when aida was all that was commonly available if you didn't have an actual needlework store (kinda like now, really), so I learned 1) blended threads, 2) fractional stitches on aida, and 3) stitching on black, all at once, and never looked back. A limited edition T-shirt was created as a keepsake for those who participated on the Bulletin Board but were unable to attend the meeting.TW is basically what I learned to stitch on I had done a couple of Paula Vaughn pieces, and then discovered The Unicorn in the local craft section of some store in New Mexico way back in 1989-1990. The members of the board held a get together in Las Vegas in 2005 known as the TWBBWWGTG (Teresa Wentzler Bulletin Board World Wide Get ToGether). Teresa Wentzler (or 'TW' as she is commonly referred to) has developed a large international fan base many of whom participate on a large discussion board (approximately 4000 registered users) linked from her site which has been highly active since the mid-1990s. She has also designed several pieces for wool-cross, or "Victorian Cross Stitch", which use wool and canvas. Her "hallmark" designs are large in size with ornate borders.
Her cross-stitch designs are noted to be among the most detailed and challenging available, incorporating numerous blended threads, fractional stitches, and specialty stitches.
She has since experimented with numerous techniques in her work. Encouraged by positive reactions, she submitted the photos to a design scouting firm and quickly received a call from Just CrossStitch magazine launching her designing career. Her first two designs (Rocking Horse designs "Trotter" and "Chestnut") were stitched as gifts for best friends. Teresa excelled in art and music during her days attending Hughesville High School and was particularly impacted by her participation in the Pennsylvania Governor's School for the Arts program during the summer year between her Junior and Senior years.ĭuring her studies at a local community college, Teresa began to design for counted cross stitch. In early October 2007, Teresa announced that her temporary leave of absence was ending, having found a local on-demand publisher to work with. In July 2005, Teresa announced that she would taking a leave of absence from cross stitch design to focus more on artwork with the first fruits of this new focus being a selection of art prints of pen and ink fantasy designs, also sold through TW Designworks. She followed Cathy Livingston and was succeeded by Marie Barber. Prior to self publishing, she was a regular contributor to Just CrossStitch magazine. Additionally, the Janlynn Corporation has manufactured her designs in kit form for several years. She self-publishes her work through her Montoursville, Pennsylvania-based TW Designworks business (launched in late 1998), although many of her earlier cross-stitch designs are available through Leisure Arts, Inc. Teresa Wentzler is an American artist and cross-stitch designer known primarily for her fantasy-inspired designs.
