Today I received a message: “I call him "Heavy Metal Skull". Saw the metallic magnifica beads and this canvas came right to mind.” wrote Palma.
This is the first time I’ve seen any of the Pink Pumpkins stitched. It's so adorable!!!! I love to see my needlepoint designs stitched. They always become so much more than I could imagine.
Palma has also shared her stitch guide with us. What a treat! I can’t wait to see the next one.
