I have a sister who is a peace activist in Hawaii. She leads a local group called Code Pink. My sister's always been a bit of a rebel — now she has a cause she finds worth fighting for.

I admire my sister's spunk. I made this for her upcoming birthday.

I did some thread substitutions on this piece:

Color Called For	My Substitute
Weeks Chesapeake / Anc 1034 / DMC 931	GAST Old Blue Paint
Weeks Purple Haze / Anc 871 / DMC 3041	GAST Berry Cobbler
Weeks Whitewash / Anc 926 / DMC 712	GAST French Vanilla
GAST Dried Thyme / Anc 860 / DMC 522	GAST Shutter Green

I decided to finish it as an easel. I'd learned the technique recently at a finishing class. I adapted what I learned to make an easel using very little glue or adhesive. (In class, we used a lot of glue!)

I've made a slide show of my version of an easel and added it to Cameo's Completions.
