1247.639 stitches to go…..

Yup, the main part has been done and now to do the edge treatment and the finishing backing and sleeve, my least favourite parts!

This one is difficult to photograph to show it’s actual beauty. Though originally a failed ecoprint, and with the intent to make it beautiful, it doesn’t register in some lighting conditions, how truly wonderful it is. And because i used free motion on a soluble for the bridging parts, it’s highly tactile.

    Very nice. I know what you mean about eco-prints not photographing as well as they look in person.
    What are the dimensions of the piece?

    Deb, you have to capture them in justthe right moment depending on the daylight; time of day and quality of light are so important here—-today is slightly overcast so not the best face forward :) This one is 18×27″

    Love that cut-away/layering thing you’re doing these days. And the ‘netting’ over it…mmmmm….
