Best Laid Plans...
I had plans to post a verbose update about my recent stitching experiment, CDC, and my progress on my website. Alas, it is not to be because when I checked out the HAED BB I discovered this: The Tower of Stony Wood. I have been wanting to stitch this piece of artwork ever since I first saw it about two and a half years ago. And now it is MINE!! So I'm going to do a quick post of the last two WIPs I've worked on and then I'm going to dive in.
Here's Cirques des Cercles:
And here's Undercurrent:
Here's a link to the artwork: Undercurrent. I was in a bit of a stitching slump since I was still preoccupied by the website I'm trying to build. I thought maybe an experiment would peek my interest and so I decided to try doing 1/2 stitches on Monaco. I picked Undercurrent because it fit perfectly on the Monaco I had. The experiment was a total success, you can't see any of the diagonal lines that have kept me from using 1/2 stitches on other fabrics, I can use a loop start, and I'm able to do a whole 10 x 50 column in less than two hours.
And now I'm off to get set up for The Tower at Stony Wood. Woohoo!!
