National Geographic Channel features the Asian Elephant Art and Conservation Project
We are excited to announce that one of the elephant artists the AEACP
works with, Hong, will be featured in an upcoming episode of a new
National Geographic channel show called, ‘Nat Geo’s Amazing’. Hong
resides at the Maetamann Elephant Camp in Northern Thailand. Also
making an appearance in the segment is the director of the AEACP, our
very own David Ferris.
The ‘Nat Geo’s Amazing’ series showcases inspiring and provocative stories from around the world. The Elephant Art episode will be airing this Friday, July 23rd at 7:00pm EST on the National Geographic Channel. Be sure to tune-in on Friday night or set that DVR!

Wool in Bloom
Friday, July 09, 2010
Here's an Organic
chair!
Making Wool Bloom in the current Aug/ Sept issue of Organic Gardening magazine highlights the extreme talents of plantswoman Joanna Reed.
The base of the seat shows garlic and onions and other activity under the soil, while the seat and back of the chair is an explosion of gorgeous flowers.
"Her skill at accurately depicting the garden's flowers and plants was just incredible, says Judy Jeroy, a certified teacher of crewelwork for EGA (Embroiders Guild of America) ... a consummate artist, I felt.
That level of skill might be difficult for most of us to achieve, but the ability to interpret favorite plants in wool is accessible to any gardener."
Introduce someone to needlepoint - teach a neighbor, child, grandchild or friend!
When you expand our needle art community you help keep the art form alive and we'll reward you!
Call us for details on our Newbie Promotion.
Who knows - maybe there's another budding Joanna Reed waiting to unleash her stitching talent!.
Talent Creates a Lasting Gift
Sunday, July 04, 2010
We wanted to share some of the details of a very special needlepoint.
The talented stitcher is the aunt of the young woman getting married.
She and her sister have
designed the Chuppah (wedding canopy) that the couple will stand beneath.
In the middle
of this long and beautiful Chuppah is this fabulously stitched
needlepoint!
The background is rich with different textures - the colors pop and the love apparent.
A Chuppah is a canopy or covering which symbolizes the home that the couple will build together.
If the home they build together is anything like their Chuppah it will be a glorious, richly colored and happy home.

We all have talent. Some of us cook well, care for others very well, sew or knit or needlepoint well. Perhaps you paint or draw or play an instrument divinely.
Michael Jackson's music and dance style may or may not appeal to you, but you cannot watch a video of him (or if you were lucky enough to see him in person) and walk away without knowing his talent. Your body captured both his voice and his rhythm.
He left too soon.

Your needlepoint can help wildlife and a way of life
Tuesday, June 15, 2010
The government released new figures Tuesday showing that far more oil is
flowing from the seafloor than believed as recently as last week. The
Flow Rate Technical Group said as much as 60,000 barrels (2.5 million
gallons) of oil a day is escaping from the damaged well, a 50 percent
increase from the last estimate.(Washington Post)
All profit from every Audubon and canvas with an animal or landscape during the months of June, July and August will go to several charities in the Gulf region, as well as Audubon, Oceans Conservancy and the Environmental Defense Fund.
Hôtel Recamier, Paris and its Needlepoint Walls!
Tuesday, June 08, 2010
Hôtel Recamier, Paris
We found this lovely post on Cool Hunting.com. " The newly renovated Hôtel Recamier, located at the core of Paris' Left
Bank on Place St. Sulpice, offers guests a low-key retreat from the
bustle of the City of Light. Designed by Jean-Louis Denoit, the tastefully appointed hotel is
classically French with modern undertones."
"Among other things, we were enamored with the seamless needlepoint
lining the elevator walls (pictured above and below)."
Worth a trip if only to see the needlepoint walls in the elevators. Well appointed indeed!
