You're very welcome. There was indeed some stunning eye candy there. I'm
really excited about a piece that will be a workshop by mail in the winter,
done by one of my favorites, Carlene Harwick. It's kind of an art deco
peacock's tail, with a really different gold "sequin" - in the middle (it
looks like an art deco curvy ladder - very unique) appliqued onto the
canvas. The piece is stunning, lots of interesting techniques. But, the
picture isn't up on the ANG site yet. I think it's called "Royal Wind."
Anyhow - seminar was inspiring - and I do really want to be stitching,
finishing my submittals, getting these couple of original pieces firmed up
(designs/charts detailed), etc, etc. Sadly - work has been interfering. I
did want to share a bit from seminar - without being accused of babbling too
much, or bragging. Ah, well. I am definitely thinking about the art deco
stocking - I saw that Trish mentioned the Mackintosh rose - which I had also
thought about. I have some great reference material so, we'll see what
comes about.
I think part of going to a seminar is that it does inspire, invigorate,
energize the participant about stitching in many ways.

I found it here (more eye candy!):

I really didn't have any preconceived ideas of what an Art Deco
stocking would look like. In terms of adapting other charts, most of
them are very angular, at least in outline, not necessarily suited to
filling in the shape of a stocking. Perhaps in that respect, Art Nouveau
would be easier, because you can always use lotus leaves to fill in and

soften the edges! <eg> I like the way Carlene used the arch to "soften"
the MacIntosh rose on the gallery site listed above.

Wow - I'm impressed that you found this site. Carlene runs the Appraisal
Cert program at ANG, and taught the Or Nue' class which I just took. This
piece is really something up close.

Me too. I actually have a reference design book that I was playing with.
These pieces are essentially kind of charted canvas work. Design outlined
onto the ground, and the stitch diagrams given for each section. But, that
doesn't mean I couldn't count out something for you - WRT a stocking. I
definitely am intrigued with the idea. There are some lovely shapes that
would do for filling a stocking - but I don't really see Mrs. Claus in a
flapper dress! Thanks for finding this site.
