This needlepoint canvas is stitch painted with a gold pendant with space for your initial. The blue and white background design is based on a weaving pattern.
You can download a chart of letters that fit inside the pendant! See the 'Charts' section of my shop.

Hand painted on 100% cotton Zweigart mono deluxe canvas.
Needle included; canvas does not come stitched or with threads.
Threads used in the stitched sample:
- Kreinik metallic braid #24 001HL (I used a tiny bit less than 50 meters. I don't necessarily recommend using this much Kreinik--this was very difficult to black and the bag is still a little out of square!)
- Appletons tapestry wool 852 (navy). You can buy Appletons wool from HM Nabavian in New York--they ship very quickly!
- Kreinik metallic braid #24 002HL and 202HL and Kreinik heavy braid #32 102HL (I don't recommend the #32 braid for this--the color was good but the braid was too thick and not easy to stitch with! You can get the same color in #16 braid, or try a similar color in Fyre Werks.) Kreinik can be tough to block--I highly recommend stitching on stretcher bars and not being a crazy-tight stitcher like me!
- DMC 3 310 black (shadow)
- I used Appletons 652 and miscellaneous colors from my stash for the center of the pendant.
