I have been struggling most of today to get stitching, so thought I'd post progress before I get right to it! Distractions? Housework mainly (bathroom and kitchen could no longer be ignored). And some computer work. I've finally finished with my old PC and now have to get some software to clean out the hard drive (not just hide files as re-formatting and/or traditional 'deleting' would do, but eliminate them).
I also downloaded my favourite photo editing program (ArcSoft 5.5, which I've used for years -- since I got it with my current camera -- and which I need to upgrade, but which still does all I need for the moment).
Now that I'm through with all that, I'm ready to stitch!
I'm using some hand-dyed silk embroidery floss -- 2 strands together -- left over from an old project. I'm not certain of the origin...could be from Gloriana Threads, but it has no label so I guess I'll never know!
Best stop typing now and get going. For the first time in ages I'm linking to WIP Wednesday over on The Needle and Thread Network. See you there!
P.S. still digesting yesterday's conversation about copyright, artistic voice etc....If you haven't listened, you might check it out.
I am anxious to see more of this project , looks so interesting , have fun.
Happy stitching! Looking forward to seeing more of this piece!
Really nice, Margaret. We shall wait impatiently to see where it goes from here.
Happy stitching on this interesting project!
