Oh Sarah, your guest is such an artist. Beautiful beach scene. Her medium is thread and cloth and paint. It's astonishing to me why people do not value painting with thread more.

I really enjoyed this video! You both work the way you are born to and I enjoyed watching you explain your process.

Loved this video. So interesting to watch Caroline create!

A great example of your brain interpreting what your eyes see.

I have a photo I've been inspired to stitch, but have come to an unhappy stop. And I now think, after watching & listening to Caroline, that I was being too literal, and I have permission now to emphasize what my most important impression is, and fade into the background the elements that aren't so important. Thank you both!

So very interesting. Thank you.

What a lovely video, and using beads and spangles to get the texture of the beach is really nice. You are both very talented and a joy to watch.

A very interesting and fascinating video demonstrating different approaches to designing and working an embroidery.

Love your clips which I have just discovered. 😘🇨🇦

As always a joy to watch, excited to hear about the new channel, and thank you to Caroline for such a great lesson too, can't wait for more!

Thank you 😊

So interesting and beautiful effects...💓...but I can't draw to save myself 😜😜

I like what the wreck on the beach turned out to become , the shells on the beach.

How wonderfull how one can imagine a place and how it really looks like, it became a beautiful dream art work, the shipswrak a boat again, the dark sand yellow and bright and the dark water blue again. I loved the real photo too, beautiful lines and colors, a bit mysterious

really wonderful to watch this, thanks so much for sharing your approaches, insights, techniques & your selves!

The art work from Sarah is also very beautiful 🤍

You two are so cute! Your personalities are exactly what you would expect from the eldest and the youngest ❤️🥰

Such talent, wow...I'm so inspired and want to try these paints....I can't wait to start. Thank you Ladies.

oh god, thank you THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! my entire 'crafting' life is one of feeling like i SHOULD be doing things in a set way- drawing out the idea, doing samples, and then finally doing the 'Real Thing'--- -by which time i've lost all enthusiasm for the project. the passion just fizzles down to a little sulking ember in the back of my brain, pettnig a cherished image of what i was GOING to do... but never accomplished. Caroline, your piece was stunning, and so evocative and natural.. it felt like it was sweeping me out onto that beach, and i could feel and hear the chinking crunch of the shells and rocks under my feet. i completely understand not using larger pieces to sample on- large pieces of cloth (and paper for sketching/painting) come with their own silent demand to be FILLED. I, for one, am too stubbornly fixated on my original idea to bend to pressure to expand or include more to fit a larger frame. Recently, i started making multiple frames- on a larger-than-normal-for-me page, i'll make a circle or square the size i'm comfortable with, then echo it with larger ones about an inch out from the first, and i do several. I do my initial piece in the central frame, then i challenge myself to do something more in the next area. at first, it was just scrollwork or some kind of border, but as i've expanded, i've begun pushing that out farther and filing interim ones with bits of background or whatever strikes my fancy. That's done a lot to make me feel less pressured by larger canvasses. anyway- that was just a side note on my personal struggle. i wanted very much to thank you for your exploration of your piece, and giving me the opportunity to see a successful artist creating BEAUTIFUL work, who gives me permission to not do every step. (and thank you, Sarah, for rightly thinking it was a perspective worth sharing. you've set me free

I am late to the party, but so glad to have finally stumbled upon your site and this beautiful video. I love seeing you, Sarah, and your sister, Caroline. You are both such talented artists, and I enjoyed seeing the different approaches to your work and how you both respect your individual creative sensibilities. This was so instructive for me. Going forward, I'll try not to get in the way of myself by trying to work as I think I "should," but rather embrace who I really am and listen to my instincts. Thank you both so much. Heading off, now, to look at Caroline's site! 💖

What a fun and interesting video with two amazing, talented ladies!

This was a very informative video, but I wonder if at some time Sarah if you could show us how you used the salt to get such lovely detail with the watercolours on your piece of fabric.

I love this video. I was just going to ask you to have Caroline back!!! You are both such talented artists. I've seen you sketch and draw before. You both have the talent to draw & paint. Is Caroline your SISTER??? Just wondering. I HOPE Caroline comes back MORE!!! NOT that I don't love to watch YOU on videos. But I really enjoyed her too. And you two are so sweet together!!! Thx for vid. Austin,TX USA

Loved this!

Wonderful!

Well done!

Love it!

I’m watching in 2023, and it appears we’re going to be dodging bird ‘flu. !

💖🌼🌸🌹🙂

I think I must be much more of a beginner than you had in mind with this design but it is very pretty

Wonderful video. A few questions: What kind of frame did Caroline attach the fabric to for painting? Will she use the same frame when stitching? Also, could we get some product information on the paint/ink she used? And any other product info that would be helpful. Thanks!
