Needlepoint Designs Catalogue - Our Online Shop is Now Open > Online Shop

This web site is divided into a designs catalog - and - an online store. In the designs catalog - we concentrate on describing the creation and development of each product from the source until the final product is prepared.

The online store was added after a very unfortunate experience of having other sources badly misuse their websites and misrepresenting our products as they liked - against our approval. Thus - we decided to offer - Our Products - to you directly and consistently. We do not compete in any way with other stores and shops who carry our products > we only felt the necessity to control this New World of Internet Sales ourselves.

All of Our Designs that are available as > Kits are seen by selecting this last link - which will take you to a a condensed version of Our Catalogs - into one page.

We also have added the people behind Our Products on Our > Designers from Spain Page.

All of Our Products are Designed and Created in Our Studio.

Design concerns itself with conceiving and designing products for the benefit of society. This process requires resolution of constraints arising from technical - aesthetic - human and business concerns.

A designer uses his or her creativity - imagination and technical knowledge to satisfy these requirements and create products to satisfy human needs. Designing is a combination of conceptual thinking - creativity - risk-taking - non-fad-driven aesthetic appropriateness - personal motivation - networking and interdisciplinary flexibility and cooperation.  We are particularly interested in the imaginative - front end of design - to answer the question *what should we create?*

A prototype development technique is an intrinsic part of the design process.

In order to become an excellent model (prototype) maker - one needs to approach each model as an attempt to learn something new in terms of materials - finish and process. There is as much creativity in methods and materials in making a model as there is in designing the product - if not more. There are some techniques that should help accelerate the learning curve for model making. Above all -- be a perfectionist. The reproduction of this first model depends on how well it is made. We do spend as much time on the product presentation as the product itself.
