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.

Pointing To The Top

The top point's all filled in now, as are some of the green bars.  Slowly I progress.

All The Way Across

Yay, I've got the width of the mandala done.  Now it's working all the way down.

Afghan For Stephanie

 One more baby afghan made.  I have two more to make, at least, before leaving Moldova.  This one's for Stephanie, who's expecting a girl next month.
