Of Earth, Air, Fire and Water

Image
Angel Update This is Of Earth, Air, Fire and Water by Ravynne Phelan.  It is a crop of the regular chart by Heaven and Earth Designs.  It's been a very long time since this one has been worked on but it was great to get this out and stitch on it after so long...  Reminder of the crop: I’m tenting this one on 18 count Davosa using 3-5 strands.  This is where it was last time: I altered the colours charted for her face and added extra metallic threads: The chart had a lot of 3078 in the face.  This is the same as the light yellow in her wings.  It made her face very yellow which in some respects might have given her a bit of a glow but referring back to the original artwork I decided that this was not how she was depicted in the original art and that I didn't want her to potentially look like she had jaundice! So I changed the 3078 to a tone that blended in with the other skin tones.     Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays! May you ...

 Spirit of Flight Finally Finished! I've been working on Spirit of Flight this month and have been meaning to finish it for awhile now.  I needed a break from stitching and have been having issues with my eyes, so focusing on something easier to see was helpful!  Looking back on my blog the supplies for this project arrived on the 14th of February 2017.   It was pleasing to receive diamonds on Valentine's Day! ;)  I can't believe how quick the time has flown by.  It's been almost nine years to get to the finish, which is a bit mad!   To be fair it is quite big at over a meter wide and HAED charts are always epic undertakings anyway... It's been such an enjoyable project to work on in between all my stitching projects though and I'm delighted with the sparkly finish! Here is a reminder of the artwork:  Spirit of Flight by Josephine Wall Charted by Heaven and Earth Designs (Regular Chart):  Here is where it was at the last time ...

A Castle In The Sky & Bird In The Trees!

Art Nouveau Bird I haven't shared this project yet but started it months ago and have been working on it between the HAED's.  I wanted a small project to take to an appointment where there was going to be a long waiting time, in order to have something to distract me and keep me occupied!  The pattern is by Stitching Land and it's called "Art Nouveau Bird".  Stitching Land have a website which is where I purchased this pattern but they also have an Etsy Store under the same name.  Their website is:  https://stitchingland.store/  . The Art Nouveau styled patterns are gorgeous!  Don't look if you don't want any new starts! 😉   I'm stitching this on a piece of leftover Bellana I had floating around,  2 over 1 full cross.  This is what it will look like finished: Here are some progress pics:  It's currently 33.20 percent done, with 5881 stitches complete:   Iris Keeper of the Rainbow I also forgot to post my progress on Iris h...

Cat Embroidery!

Cat Embroidery Kit This is my first attempt at embroidery from a small kit I was gifted: I really enjoyed doing the lazy daisy stitch!   As usual I couldn't resist making changes to some of the colours. I removed the white in the basket for an orange and added an extra pink on the flowers. Happy Stitching! xxx
