Delight Prescott-Spall’s interest in art began when she was only five years old when a friend of her mothers, who was an artist corrected a coloring book page where she had drawn accidently outside the lines by adding an additional rooster feather to the rooster. Suddenly, art became something magical that she wanted to learn. There were no advocates for her in becoming an artist. It wasn't something you did if you wanted to make money. It was only good as a hobby. She had one year of art lessons at 13 learning charcoal, pastels, limited pallette oils, and full pallette oils. She majored in German and English and got the nerve to finally follow her dream at age 30.
ART SHOWS
Good friends helped her make the set up panels for her first show and got her started. Delight’s Fantasy Art features original paintings that incorporate many things in the fantasy realm: dragons, unicorns, fairies, mermaids, as well as her own quirky whimsy. Her ideas come straight from her imagination, that she forms into a sketch. She explains that if she likes the sketch enough that she then works to turn it into a painting through the following process.
After transforming her idea from mind to a pencil sketch, she scans the drawing into a computer using Photoshop. By using Photoshop, Delight is able to create a digital painting from the sketch, which she can then use as a template for the canvas. From here, the idea goes from digital. The digital piece is transferred to the paper or canvas for a colored pencil drawing or an original acrylic painting.
Delight has been painting for over 66 years and has been running Delight’s Fantasy Art for 46 years. As a result, she finds it impossible to say which painting is her favorite since her goal is to simply “try and get better with each painting".

Bast/Bastet was the protector and guardian of Lower Egypt. She was the patron goddess of fire fighters, because the Egyptians believed that a cat running through a building on fire would draw the flames out. She was also one of the goddesses who was known as the "eye of Ra" or the "eye of Atum," the sun.
She was also the goddess of protection, pleasure, and the bringer of good health. She had the head of a cat and a slender female body. Bastet was the daughter of Ra, sister of Sekhmet, the wife of Ptah, and the mother of Mihos. Since the Second Dynasty, Bastet was worshiped as a deity, most commonly in Lower Egypt.
Delight has created her version of Bastet. She has the demeanor of many Egyption Goddesses, and has the large decorated collar and arm bands so often shown on Bastet. The main difference is her legs!

Delight wanted to explore a different technique when she created her Cheshire with Mushrooms. I've separated out the parts of the design as they make complete accent designs in themselves! Plus you can purchase the commercial sizes for the complete picture. I stitched my commercial size on White Dupioni silk and used Amish Black cotton for the frame. I a so added some crystals in each of the *dots* and the cheshire's eyes.

Delight’s painting of the Raven and it’s Mushrooms is fascinating. The first picture is the template showing the colors of fabric to use. The second picture are the designs (screenshot) without any fabric background, the third is Delight's original painting and the remaining designs are the actual stitchouts of each design.
. I’ve started with the Individual designs you can use to make your own pictures or use them on clothing, linens, banners, etc. I have included a template you can use to make a similar picture to the original.
PLEASE NOTE ON SIZES: Because one or two designs in each size reaches hoop sizes, the remaining designs in the size are quite small. You can see the exact measurements of each design by clicking on Check Sizes.
The free design can be used as a backdrop for other designs - try putting several next to each other.

The winged cat is a theme in artwork and legend going back to prehistory, especially mythological depictions Classical antiquity had many winged creatures such as the winged horse known as a pegasus. There are two references in the Judeo-Christian Bible to winged beasts - usually a lion.
Delight's gorgeous kitty reminds me almost of a Monarch Butterfly! (a customers suggestion!) In this set you will receive two versions of the cat - one wingless and one with wings, and a small design of the mushrooms. You will also receive the entire picture in 3 commercial sizes. If you don't have a large enough hoop for these, you can create a background from grassy, leafy green fabric and a gray and black forest. You could also use a green/brown fabric for the top that looks like tree trunks I experimented with mica powder to create the silvery trails of the fairies - i talk about this in the instructions.

The first three designs make up the large picture and are very easy to put together. Full instructions are included. The next 7 designs are the elements of the picture to stitch individually as accent designs or to make your own arrangements for a picture.
The votes on my group were overwhelming for me to do this next design. I am doing this dragon three ways - first, there is this set of individual designs taken from the painting; next will be a commercial size to stitch out the whole painting in one hoop and finally by request, tiled designs to create the painting. Thanks group! Facebook Group.
There are alignment lines where required with these designs, but I also show you a super easy way to do a design like this without having to line anything up! Thread Kit Available

Delight designed these gorgeous Roses and Monarch Butterflies to be a bell pull. I have tweaked them a little so they can be used for a bell pull and also as individual designs. And I've taken a rose and two butterflies as additional designs to add to a main project. The designs shown on white are screen shots just to show you how they look without the black background. The bee is of course a freebie for you to try :)

The third version of Delight's Doorway. I have done this mushroom house three ways - first, there is the set of individual designs taken from the painting; next was the commercial size to stitch out the whole painting in one hoop and finally this choice - the tiled designs to create the painting. We have been discussing this for about a week on my Facebook Group. The tiled designs are very easy. You stitch each one, then zigzag them together on your sewing machine. It can then be framed or finished with sashing, I recommend stitching theses on black fabric, but they will also be pretty done on white, cream perhaps even a light blue.

Delight's Fantasy Art has joined with BFC to create embroideries from her fantastical art! I am really excited about this. Delight's art covers art for all ages. You can create a baby's quilt with her art or a magnificent fantasy for your living room. She does wonderful dragons, so I have started with them. I've separated out the 3 designs that make up the whole painting. Use all of them, or just one part as an accent design. You receive the entire painting as one design in 4 sizes. I've included instructions for making the wall hanging as shown, especially the handmade beaded fringe.
IMAGES: The first two are of a wall hanging made with the Commercial Size design. The next two images are of the whole painting stitched in the medium size and the commercial size, the next 4 designs are the sections of the design separated so they can be stitch separately and finally the Free design.
NEW OPTION!!! More and more embroiders have large commercial size hoops - even on home machines. I'm always confused on what size to provide. For this set, you can buy the commercial size as shown in check sizes, or choose the option Commercial with Custom Sizing. This costs an additional $10, but you can choose the size you need for your hoop. If you choose this, please put in your message the size you want, the maximum stitching size of your hoop and your format.You will receive the standard commercial size in your zip file and I will create your custom size and email it to you.
PLEASE NOTE: BFC3823 and BFC3824 do not show on the Thread chart or conversion chart. You can see these colors by searching for these number.
