Shin-Bijutsukai was a Japanese design magazine from 1901-1902. It featured the best artists of the turn of the century and illustrated a Japanese aesthetic that remains relevant and beautiful today. Poppy Monk has adapted some of the Shin-Bijutsukai designs to needlepoint so that you can recreate this beautiful art with needle and thread. The Parasols design is accurately color-printed onto 18 mesh mono needlepoint canvas. The design area is 5" x 5" and the cut canvas is 8" x 8" (this is the size stretcher bars you will need). This needlepoint kit comes with Pepperpot Silk and Essentials thread as shown. How To Needlepoint instructions are not included but are available upon request. Just add a note at checkout. SKILL LEVEL: Advanced Beginner and up. FINISHING OPTIONS: We love this design in a frame or in one of our leather self-finishing needlepoint boxes. The Sage Green one is perfect for this design.  See more designs in the Poppy Monk Art Needlepoint Collection.
