Right, back to the owls for a week so so. Here’s the next one in the series. This is just a v.1 stitchout so there are still things to correct – such as the feathers on the right side of the head, which need adjustment. Also the colours aren’t quite right, which is always a problem with first versions – you never really know how colours are going to work together until you actually see them on the stitchout, and in these complex designs it’s particularly important to get the colours absolutely right. However he doesn’t need a lot of work and will soon be ready to go
The latest owl v. 1
It’s lucky that I have a backlog of owls to put up here, because I’ve just started on a long and demanding project involving a lot of different designs and a lot of metallic foil. It’s going to take a long time to finish and until it’s done I won’t have much new to post here. The new project is a panel made up of 21 different designs and although the designs themselves are pretty simple, the stitchouts are taking a long time to do, and the foil is proving very difficult to handle. However I’m hoping that it will get easier with time
somehow this fella has the 'wisest' look so far, or maybe I'm just in quizzical mood!
good luck with the panel and intricate foil work, that will be eagerly awaited posting!
