Colonial Band Sampler Framed

Yay, the Colonial Band Sampler is framed, very simply.  I think it looks best this way.  The piece is actually quite small.

Finishing The Chimney

I am finished with the chimney, so now I'm working on the bricks of the last house.

Back To Winging It

I mainly worked on the central butterfly this time, though you can see two more lower ones taking shape.

Fancy Necklaces

I bought these two pieces along with the barrette last Wednesday.  Now I need t o go somewhere fancy to wear them.

New Designer

Natalya Maskvina came to the embassy last week for Artisan Faire.  I bought.  There's this barrette and two necklaces.  All her work involves soutache.

Tailed

The dragon has a tail now!  It must be taking shape.  This piece has more partial stitches than any other one I've ever worked on, I think.

Going Violet

The violets are getting closer to complete.  It does look like a spray of violets now.
