The Framing of Umbrella Sky Part 2

I won't write "a novel" for part 2... I'll just cut straight to the reveal and bombard you all with photos!

Here she is finally framed:

This one I took with the camera flash turned on:

I choose a silver coloured frame because it was much more complementary than the darker frames I was initially looking at. I felt like I wanted some metallic element in there from the start. Blacks were just too dark and wood didn’t look right. I think the lighter color really brings her out and that’s where the attention should rightly go!

I went with the conservation clear glass (cuts out UV) to hopefully prevent any potential fading from exposure to light.

Unfortunately this shot ended up a bit blurry it gives an idea of the size anyway! I am quite tall for the record!:

I think it turned out well after the long process to get to this point.  Now, back to stitching my wips!

    Thanks you all! The funny thing is the place I'm renting honestly has zillions of flimsy hooks on the walls... I wouldn't trust any of them to hold her weight! So still need to invest some time and dollars into getting that sorted. I'm enjoying looking at her framed though :)

    She is looks amazing framed. I think you picked right a darker frame would have flattened the vibrancy of the art. Beautiful, congrats it must feel great to have this achievement under your belt!

Nocturne

Nocturne It's been a long time since Nocturne has seen the light of day!  This project was one of the three pieces with the highest amount of votes, when everyone voted for the projects they wanted to see more progress on.   I really wanted to complete page 8 for this blog but I'm only about halfway through.  The chart I'm working on is the old version.   After discovering the art was re-charted, I put the wip aside for awhile to decide whether or not to restart with the newer chart.  I've decided to continue working on the original chart though.  I've already restarted this one before and don't have the heart to restart it again, especially since quite a decent amount has been completed.  Anyway, the newer chart may blend better and have more depth but I still think the original is pretty!  They both have their strengths and weaknesses.

In the Spirit of Diamond Painting

Spirit of Flight I've finished page 17 of my Spirit of Flight Diamond Painting. Now there is one more partial page left till the column finish.  I had a little help from my friend Cathy on a small section of this page! She did the blue section on the left side (Thanks Cathy ;) ): Cute Pens Awhile back I got my Mum and Sister into Diamond Painting.  They are still working on their projects, although we haven't had a chance to get together and do another Diamond Painting Day yet.... For fun Mum brought us all a special diamond painting pen.  There are a whole lot of cute little cartoon type styles available!  I haven't had a chance to test mine out properly until recently... Anyway, it is very comfortable to hold and has a softer more "cushioned" feel than the pink pens.   Diamond Painting Pen: Last Progress Update: Current Progress:      Happy Stitching & Diamond Painting! xxx

100 Days of HAED

25 Days of Treasure Hunt I've fallen way behind with my yearly stitching goals...  So when a post for the 100 HAED Challenge came up on my Facebook feed it sounded like the perfect way to get motivated again and catch up!  I've sort of been avoiding my Treasure Hunt crop because it was getting slightly tedious with all that confetti. The aim of this challenge is to stitch everyday though and that has certainly helped progress. I'm going to share the first twenty-five days now! Treasure Hunt Bookshelf by Aimee Stewart (Cropped Version) Reminder: Last Update:   Progress Before start of Challenge (Challenge Day 0):    Progress on Day 10 of Challenge Progress on Day 20 of Challenge; Progress on Day 25 of Challenge: Whole Piece to Date at 64.55% Complete: I'll be switching wips every 25 days for this Challenge.  Some stitchers are opting to work on the same piece for 100 days.  There is so much confetti in Treasure Hunt that I need to break it up by switchi
