Manuela drew the Sun, the Moon and the Stars for a punch needle image for the cottage -or wherever. It is interesting how you punch the threads in through the back of the canvas and the image is on the reverse side.  The orange and yellow threads went through a number of changes to get the correct combination of colours that make up the image.  As usual, Manuela added beads and crystals to the canvas. The silver treads of the moon pick up coloration from the other colours in the image.

From another walk by the river I made the drawing and then bak at the studio I used oil pastel.  First an undercoating of oil pastel, further layers ending with Sennelier oil pastels.
