Mouline Rouge WIP
One of the nice things about non-HAEDs is how quickly space on the fabric seems to get filled up. I only worked on this for 3 days, and not really so much time on those days, but am still able to mark off about 8000 stitches.
I had a most horrible time piecing this together from the scans. I can't find a way to alter the way Photostitch automatically put the images together and ended up having to scan the middle and end section twice because it was matching up stuff wrong. I gave PhotoImpact a try before scanning again, but I ended up not wanting to take the time to figure it out. One more thing on the list of stuff I'd like to play with, but never make the time for!
I'm going to start working on Song of the Dead tonight. I have it started on 28 count greyish blue Jobelan, but have since learned that I really don't like working with Jobelan. And I particularly don't like the 28 count. I was going to restart it on the 20 count pewter Lugana I got, but after trying Motherhood on it and hating it, I decided that's not a such good idea. I'm thinking about restarting on 25 count antique white Lugana. After much experimentation, I've decided that is my favorite fabric. But since the design has a lot of black, I'm concerned about coverage.
But wait, I recall somewhat liking the 28 count Monaco I'm doing Broken Angel on. I know I have some, but I wonder if it's wide enough? Hmmmm... Off to rummage through my stash. Check this space in about four days if you're interested in the outcome.
