Bricks And Windows

This side is not remotely symmetrical, so I am working on a red brick building before transiting to a black tower.  The red brick's coming along fairly well.

Pottery Finds

 I found these two pieces at an artisan spotlight at the embassy.  Together, they were under $40.  The casserole is full sized and I've already used it once.  I just love the way the plate looks, though, and haven't used it yet.

Still The Same Spot

I am still working on the same area on the left.  It is slow going on the start of this third page of the chart.  Lots and lots of little areas.

One Corner, Two Thirds

Now down to the side on the first corner.  It's coming along pretty well, and I like the look of it.  The middle left building is also getting backstitched.  Progress!

Around The Ball

I am still working on the darning stitch background, but it's almost done.

Making The Robe

I am getting the robe filled in now.  It's getting some tone to it, and some spots.

More Hair Finds

I found a few things for my hair at the medieval festival.  The peacock is cute, and all three items are from the same person.  She made them all using polyester ribbon and beads.  I'm easily amused and impressed.
