More Necropolis - Ulpiana

This tombstone is very well done, considering Ulpiana was not a truly major city.  It did have the designation municipia, but was merely yet another town on the trade route between the Adriatic and Constantinople.  Still, a lot of the workmanship and sheer effort put into things is impressive.

Coffee Cup

It doesn't look much like a coffee cup yet, but there is one there.

Bits Of Flowers

Nothing big finished this time, but bits and pieces of several flowers completed.  There's one big flower cluster on the left that I will tackle next.

Ulpiana Necropolis

The site of Ulpiana has been but back together very well, showing the layout of what has been dug up clearly and demarcating the boundaries of various areas.  The necropolis has several empty sarcophagi and a small chapel.  It's also just plain pretty to walk about.

Ulpiana Panorama

Ulpiana is an ancient late Roman city a few miles from our house.  It's in the process of being excavated, and the Kosovars hope to make it an eventual tourist site.  Signs are in Albanian, Serbian, and English, and it's been significantly upgraded and excavated since Andreas was there ten years ago.  This is one of the areas that was excavated so far.  It's the cemetery and attendant church just outside the town's gates.

Daily Stitching For A Week

I stitched on this a every day for a bit more than a week, and it's hard for me to see all the progress.  I know it's there, but it seems to be very slow going.  I think it's all the partial stitches.  Soon, I hope, those will be over and things will go more quickly.  On the other hand, I can see all the back stitching on the dragon's head, which really emphasizes the fans.

More Sky

It doesn't take much in the way of columns to get in three full lengths of floss stitched when you have such expansive rows to cross.  But I did it.  And now some columns are filled.
