23 for 2023 #10: Autumn Ornament by Helena Chatte

I completely changed up the colors on this, and I think it looks pretty good. Original was done on linen; I've changed to congress cloth.

 

Got a Pock

No pocket yet, just a pock.

 

Blackwork Ornament

One of my first finishes of 2023. I am hoping to get more things to a final stage this year. This one's going in my ornaments to give away box.

 

More Russian Junk

Literally junk, as it will never be used again.

 

Wall Decoration

Villa Arianna must have been truly bright and cheerful when it was occupied. There's so much color on the walls, and the windows made sure there was light during the day.

 

Shoe and Socks

The shoe is Ottoman because of its curved toe. And the socks are different Serbian designs.

This should be a fairly quick and pretty stitch. Will make a good daily stitch later in the year.
