Petit Point Clarification, Ariane Crafts

Ariane Crafts Christmas Ornaments are not executed in Penelope double weave canvas. I have the canvas stored for Ariane Crafts handbags because a few months ago was decided to reduce the canvas phi . 

If you are following me for a while you might remember this post regarding the reduction of canvas phi for the Georgia Summer wedding bags.

The Occasion  Georgia Summer Wedding bag is too formal to be executed with large ( French call it gross) yarn and will be more in line with traditional Berlin work  seen especially during Victorian times, of handbags executed in petit points.

This ornaments are still petit points ( gross - French, large British language) , which is known as tapestry stitch, continental stitch, etc.

Here are some pictures of a very dear book I have in French Le Petit Point by Anne- Marie Giffard, with a lengthy history of Petit Points evolutions and use , and mostly important clarifying the distinction between large(gross , mostly used for large tapestries for domestic use) and normal petit points in Penelope canvas.

Feel free to email me for further information. Below are pictures of the book mentioned above and also the canvas I have in storage for the 2022 Occasion Georgia Summer handbags, which I would really appreciate if any of my followers can put a word with St George Church to have the bags sold in this Church for charitable purposes, community raffles, etc.

Ariane Crafts got full trademark registration as the opposition period has now expired -yay!!!!!

 


Okay is just embroidery, but means the world to me to know that Ariane Crafts is now a fully approved and registered trademark in the class of Embroidery!

This registration certificate received today will make relationship easier between me and Charities I craft for, and hopefully I can secure a good relationship with Christmas Fairs hosts and patrons as well!

Could it take me to Milan catwalks, or France high fashion? Hmm, I wish, these are dreams I just can't dream! ( But hey, love the thoughts! Just love it!!!)

Thank you to all my followers, supporters, and hope to have a face to face this December during the live Christmas decorations sale!

Best wishes,

Ariane Crafts
