Have Some Leaves

Same pattern over and over again with the leaves .... many, many leaves.

Gold's Done

I finished the gold background.  Now I have to outline the square and the leaves; then I'll be done!

Taking Shape

You can see the outlines of more shapes - a bellflower that will be filled with beads and one of two bluebells that drape down a bit.  

TAST Week #8 - Chain Stitch

As I had already used chain stitch as part of my week two, I just did a simple chain of chain stitches....

A Third Color

I decided to add another color to my sampler because I wanted the lattice work to stand out some.  It's being done in Kreinik's silk serica, giving it a bit of sheen, too. 

Dead Tired of Red

I never thought I would be so tired of working with one color.  I am now, although the piece is coming together and looking pretty good.

No More Sky

I am now officially done with the sky!  I am also almost to the halfway point of the whole piece.  It's beginning to look real to me.
