Question
I hope you can help me, I wasn't sure which of the hobby experts to ask and you seemed the closest to my category.  I have done fabric painting in the past and now I understand there is a medium that combines cross stitching with the use of paint and it is called paintstitching or paintbeading, do you know any great web sites that could help me with this?  I haven't had much luck on my own; the only clue I got was that Tulip paints was manufacturing special paints for this use.  Any help would be appreciated at this point.  Thank you very much.

Answer
Hi Baba Lu,
I have heard of Paintstitching but have never given it a try as I much prefer painting my lighthouses and barns and so on. So I went surfing and found these two sites and if you go to the search part of yahoo and type in paintstitching you will see more. I hope this will help you get started. Good luck and happy painting.
