Recently I stumbled across the Fleur de Paris website, the company that represents painted canvas designers like Trubey and Sandra Gilmore and dede Odgen. I wouldn't have done anything more than use one of these rarely seen designers' pieces as a Canvas of the Day if I hadn't noticed several people have been looking for "La Femme" by Sandra Gilmore, which is the canvas you see above. Below is the direct link for visitors who wanted to see more of this gorgeous Caribbean lady. Everybody else, treat yourself to all of dede's designs or look carefully at Trubey's gorgeous work, or explore other designers by just using the links on the left side of the page.

There is lots to see besides the designers mentioned above. Janet Watson does beautiful florals and glorious Russian angels. Tonya does lovely graphics with Jewish motifs. Fleur de Paris also is a major distributor of Zweigart canvases. So tell your shop to add the Fleur canvas you have to have to their order for plain NP canvas.
I have also just discovered Colors of Praise by Marie Barber. She is featured on Needleworks of Homewood, Alabama's website. If you like designs featuring birds or fruit or flowers, this is the designer for you. I particularly like her tiny bird canvases and her assorted peacock designs, some of which are on 18 count, some of which are on 13 count and one lovely example of which is on 10 count. Something for every peacock lover's eyes, in other words.

Have fun exploring while I get back to even more tent stitched background! (Don't miss Trubey's gorgeous Creche set!)
