Episode 3 : Stockinette stich

My YouTube channel about fiber

I will add very soon the new link for the third episode.

The combination of purl and knit stitches and all the beautiful designs made by Kristen.

I bought her book a few weeks ago and I was so surprised to see how beautiful patterns can be made with only 2 stitches.

I'm a knitter since a few decades now and I learned a lot with the book that you can buy like an ebook but she is selling also a printed version.

Here is the link where you can visit her Etsy store.

My "Come Back" Show : EBearshow.com

    

Hello Everyone,

I'm very glad to announce... I'm back with my bears and I will participate to EBearshow, on August 19th 2016.
However, now, you can see the bears and friends that we will offer you and even, you can vote for the best creation in the show.

Here is the link to my stall : 
http://www.ebearshow.com/stalls/chantal-bears

In 11 days, you will see the new creations I made for the "Come Back" show

I designed Rainy the preview bear with the idea of Life.  I embroidered with beads a fontein on her forehead, meaning water, life...

Beary Hugs.

I'm still there

For the moment, I'm working on a new technique for my bears, but you will understand that I will not publish any picture now. My blog is followed by the person in Europe who stole my idea a few months ago. You can see that she comes often on the widget I have on the right column of my blog.
However, I can tell you that the technique is a little tricky,  but the result is amazing.
I'm working on my bears in thread and I have now new friends for the bears in fabric.
A long process, but I will show you the result very soon when the whole edition will be ready.

We are not alone....... Addison Duval Great Message

I would like to share that document, that message for encouraging friends or artists who knew, are knowing or will know the same situation.

  I had to go through a bad period of time, trying to understand why some artists like to copy the others or take their idea.

I realized that there is nothing to do against that "game" based only on money, jealousy,...(insult I received myself by a thief).

However, the text here made me understand that we are not alone and the situation exists in all domains. 
And the thief could be a trustful friend, you had during many years..... that hurts more.....

“Good artists copy. Great artists steal.”

Pablo Picasso.

Here is the text Addison Duval wrote :

Things You Can Do When Someone Steals Your Idea.

(Addison Duval)

Theft of ideas happens all the time in the creative industry. When you come up with something fresh and exciting that attracts attention, it’s inevitable that you will be ripped off at some point by others looking to ride on the coattails of your success. And yes, it sucks.

Contrary to popular belief, imitation is not the highest form of flattery – it’s simply annoying and makes things that much harder for the up and coming designer to distinguish him or herself from the hordes of copycats.
I could tell you to just suck it up and move on when it happens to you (and it will, if you’re popular enough), but that’s not very helpful when you’re feeling cheated and robbed, and the thief is off getting paid for your hard work. This is a common problem with a few unconventional solutions, which we will now explore.

1. Let Them Take The Fall

If your idea wasn't very good in the first place, you’ll soon know from the response your competitor will get. They’ll try to get validation from others, either clients or fans. They’ll be roundly criticized for presenting such a bad idea, or, if they’re really unlucky, others will point out publicly that they stole the original idea from you (which, if it’s bad, is not a good thing).
If your idea doesn’t work for your thief, you now know what to do better. You can tweak your own work and avoid the mistakes they made. If it does work… you now know what to do better. You come up with an even better idea and execute it in a way that leaves people with no doubt as to who the better designer is.

2. Kick Their Ass

Stealing an idea is easy but actually making a design do what it’s supposed to (solve a problem) is hard. When you get ripped off by an inferior designer, it can feel like being hit in the stomach. How dare that hack think he can copy your genius and get away with it? Doesn’t he know how hard you work to develop the perfect design solutions and earn the highest praise from your viewing audience?
You can hit back by being a thousand times better than anyone who would steal your idea. If you’re really committed to making this idea of yours work, you owe it to yourself, and your client or viewers to go above and beyond anything the other party would even think to do.
You’re the better designer, after all. Send them home with their tail between their legs.

3. You’re The Architect

Just because someone “stole” your “idea” doesn’t mean they know what to do with it or how you arrived at the idea in the first place. You’re the architect of your idea, not your copycat. That means you have the blueprint from which to generate a new one (there’s more where that came from). If you have the framework in place for generating even better ideas (which you should), you have nothing to worry about.
Even if you don’t have the framework for generating ideas, you have an entirely different and more fundamental problem than someone stealing your ideas. I’d recommend going back to the drawing board and developing new ways of brainstorming and cataloguing your ideas so that you get the best ones flowing to you when you need them.

What Do You Think?

Have you ever had an idea stolen by unscrupulous competitors? What did you do about it? Do you think stolen ideas are worth getting upset over, or do you simply let it go with the confidence that you can come up with something even better?

After the Holidays greetings, teddy bear and friends are on Ebay

Two bears/bunny/snowman on Ebay for 5 days.

Kenny and Snowflake.

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/221985381319

Both are looking for a new home.
I would like to add a little message to all my collectors about the Teddy Bears Cross Stitch on Tummy, I started in November 2015. I did not tell anything before but I will do it now.
Why I did it ? I needed to raise funds to rescue my cat, Plume who had to have an important surgery.

So, I would like to thanks all my collectors who helped me in that difficult time, as the funds paid the vet bills, even the last one, when she passed away.
To honour Plume, my cat, I will continue the edition for a while and thanks to you all, for the support you gave me.


The second one is Snowy, the white bunny.

He is 6.7 inches tall, very soft and with beautiful handmade eyes.
