After selecting my picture I use this link http://www.dumpr.net/sketch.php to get it into a sketch format. After saving I can then print it the size I want. These are going to be postcard sized -- 4"x6".

Background Prep
Now that I'm caught up with projects that needed to be done by a date that is quickly approaching I can take some time out to do some other work... a couple more thread paintings. They are for a couple of birthdays (hmmm.... which are approaching fast, perhaps I was a bit hasty saying I was caught up! LOL).

I used my Derwent Ink Blocks (you can find them here: http://www.dickblick.com/products/derwent-inktense-blocks/?clickTracking=true) to paint the background and basic picture. Once they are dry I will heat set the paint then add stabilizer to the back and start the "painting" with thread.
