Little Flowers And Big Cliffs

This is more Miradouro.  These little yellow flowers were growing everywhere.  I'm not sure what they are.  They remind me of mallow.

And below are more views of the cliffs.  They look so majestic and imposing.  I know I did not want to fall down one.

A Couple Flowers

I've noticed a problem with this piece.  It's got a registration problem on the printing.  The farther down the piece you go, the more obvious it becomes.  I will not be buying another Orchidea kit because of this.

All Sucked Up

Yay, it's done!  And it came out pretty well, too!  Now to mail it off to its recipient.  This is one of her favorite phrases.

More Miradouro

There is this beautiful landscape only a few miles outside of Luanda.  There are developer signs for a subdivision at the top of this - but nothing else.  It's gorgeous, and they're going to build ticky tacky boxes on top of it that will fall down in twenty years if/when the economy improves.  Instead of preserving the beauty and making this into an attraction to escape the city, it's going to become part of the city.  It makes me sad to see somewhere like this turned into another wasted opportunity.

A Different Approach

Instead of doing the cross stitch first and then the beading, I decided to do the cross stitch and beading together.  So far, it's worked out all right.

Trying To Tree

This is from last year's crazy January.  It's  time to finish it and get it off my list.  So far, a fairly good start.  I like the look of this color of Wildflowers on the rough linen fabric.

Back To Brown

This last set was back  to brown and filling in more of the peahen.  I am thinking of making this my daily project for a month and seeing how far I get.
