Needlepoint artist Natalie Fisher

One way to describe textile art is ‘painting with wool,’ and this is exactly what Natalie Fisher does. Here she explains how to transfer her image onto canvas:

” I start by printing my photograph onto an A4 sheet, then I create a tracing of as many details as I can. This is then taken to the printer to enlarge to the finished size. I then do another tracing, this time from the printed cartoon onto blank needlepoint canvas.”

Using a frame for needlepoint is personal preference but Nataile prefers not to, which makes it easier for her to sew on location. Read more of her inspiring interview on her page on this website or visit www.artweave.com.au
