Two Bobbles, One Mesh: What’s the Same?
The Klint Bobble and the Moai Bobble are part of August Design Works' Bobbles™ Series, which celebrates iconic figures through hand-painted needlepoint canvases. Both are designed on 18 mesh canvas, with a 2" × 5" design area on a 6" x 9" canvas. Each canvas is hand-painted, meaning the exact colors and brushstrokes will vary slightly from one canvas to another. The supplied information does not include thread recommendations or an instruction booklet, so you will need to plan your own palette and stitch order.
Canvas Specifications at a Glance
- Klint Bobble - Needlepoint Canvas (Wholesale): Dimensions: 2” × 5” design (6” x 9” canvas) on 18 mesh. Our Bobbles™ Series celebrate iconic figures with hand-painted needlepoint canvases designed to be stitched, displayed, and collected - each one a little work of art. The Klint Bobble is inspired by Hilma af Klint, one of the most groundbreaking artists in the history of abstract art. This is a small, portrait-scale design that suits a display piece, ornament, or framed artwork. The abstract art inspiration means the palette may include bold, non-naturalistic colors.
Klint Bobble - Needlepoint Canvas (Wholesale) - Moai Bobble - Needlepoint Canvas: Dimensions: 2” × 5” design (6” x 9” canvas) on 18 mesh. Our Bobbles™ Series celebrate iconic figures with hand-painted needlepoint canvases designed to be stitched, displayed, and collected - each one a little work of art. The Moai Bobble is inspired by the awe-inspiring mystery of the Moai, the monumental stone statues crafted by the Rapa Nui people of Easter Island. Same canvas size and mesh count. The Moai subject suggests a more monochromatic palette of earth tones and grays, which may be easier to plan if you prefer a limited thread selection.

Which Canvas Should You Choose?
The choice between these two canvases comes down to subject matter and the stitching experience you want. Both are the same size and mesh, so the decision is about the portrait you will spend hours stitching.
- Klint Bobble: Inspired by Hilma af Klint, a pioneer of abstract art. The design likely features abstract shapes and vivid colors. Finishing ideas include a stand-up, display piece, ornament, or framed. If you enjoy stitching portraits with an artistic, modern feel, this canvas is a strong choice.
- Moai Bobble: Inspired by the monumental stone statues of Easter Island. The design likely portrays the iconic head shape with a more subdued, earthy palette. Finishing ideas include a stand-up, display piece, ornament, or framed. This canvas suits stitchers who prefer a grounded, historical subject.
What the Supplied Information Does Not Tell You
The product records for both canvases do not include thread requirements, stitch count, or a recommended stitching order. The hand-painted nature means each canvas is unique, so you will need to interpret the design yourself. Neither canvas comes with a printed color key or thread guide. If you prefer a more guided project, you may want to look for a kit or a canvas with a full thread pack. For these Bobbles, you will plan your own palette and stitch approach.
