Marjorie Sarnat - Kompanions

Kompanions - Marjorie Sarnat
Design Size:  350 W x 525 H (183,750 cross stitches)
Finished size on 14 count Aida fabric:  24"W x 36"H
Kompanions is a counted cross stitch adaptation of artist, Marjorie Sarnat's, Kleo Kats, series of artwork. (Click on her name to go to her website.)

Excerpted from Ms Sarnat's website biography:
"Marjorie's design work now appears as collectibles lines for Enesco, The San Francisco Music Box Company, Westland Giftware, and others, having been made into figurines, music boxes, holiday ornaments, waterglobes and more. In addition, her work appears on textiles, gift tins, and other merchandise and is published as paper doll books and greeting cards. Marjorie's painting style is highly detailed and filled with images from the past, with an emphasis on tender human emotions (even when the "humans" are bears or fairies).

Besides the inspiration provided by images from the past, Marjorie derives inspiration for her art from her own family experiences growing up in Chicago, and from her family life today.

Marjorie lives with her husband, daughter, and son in Southern California, where she pursues her lifelong passions for art and old books."

The counted cross stitch design is available through Heaven and Earth Designs.   

It took me about 2 years to finish this piece of artwork.
