Last Of The Step Blocks

 I was the last person to work on Shelley's step block.  The top picture is how I got it.  The bottom shows what I added.  There wasn't too much to add.  I basically put beads in some of the seams, added a charm (which is flipped over in the photo, and added some definition to the roses in the middle.  I hope Shelley's received it by now.

Something Different

Three different flavors of honey liquor in one "bottle".  It's actually three bottles stacked, but it looks neat and we taste tested the flavors before we bought.  Another medieval festival find.

Back And Forth

The peacock is getting a bit of blue on his back, and I've filled out more of the branch and background on the left.  

Facing The Bird

I added some stitching to both the bird and the angel's face this time.  Also added a bit of fill to the wings.

Tiny Bits

I took this with to Odessa and got a bit more done.  Tiny bits add up, especially on a small project!

Medieval Jewelry

So, this isn't something that is usually found in jewelry shops.  It's a ferroniere and goes around the forehead.  They have a somewhat checkered past, come from Italy, and are great for cosplay.  We found a booth selling them at the medieval festival in Bayeux and bought this one.  It's gold colored and has a pretty smoky stone in the center.  Now to wear it!

Squaring Up

I got some squares done on the upper right and a bit filled in on the center square.  The lamppost also got its second curlicue.  Looks more even.
