Encrusted Calico - Progress
Well I'm nearly there. Although I'm not too happy with the shape, I think I might try and round it up a bit. The initial plan was to kind of have a bit of a wavy, more random edge but the sides haven't worked out that way.
Oh well, a few more days stitching will save me having to worry about what my next project will be for a bit longer. That and what I'm going to do once TAST is finished - gulp!
Hubby is suggesting rather strongly that I frame this one when its done. Whats wrong with a box full of embroidery - thats what I'd like to know. But yes I might frame this one and I have my first stump work piece that needs a frame too.
You may or may not have noticed that the other bone button (from the bottom right) is missing. Once I'd shifted a couple of bits around I figured I might as well get rid of that one as well. Hey! don't judge its my project and I can do what I want 😝
TAST - Closed Herringbone
Still a few more weeks of TAST to go. This weeks stitch is Closed Herringbone, the tutorial on Pintangle is here and as per usual I've borrowed a picture from the tutorial. Hmmmm, it kind of lends itself to long tail feathers or maybe a thatched roof. Although its highly unlikely I will be able to get it THAT neat and even. Will have to put my thinking cap on.
Thats it for now.
Your encrusted calico looks amazing, and so life-like.
ReplyDeleteI've got 20+ years of stitching in a box. Nothing wrong with that. lol
