Spot the difference November 2nd, 2005

This afternoon I was stitching with Sharon Who did think up this challenge? sitching on denium is crazy, I have a sore index finger from yanking the needle through and now I have a hole in my middle finger…mind you I will thank her next week when it is finished and my fingers have healed because I do love how my bag is developing…

BeforeAfter

and what I spent the afternoon doing is unpicking a flower to move it down just 1 cm…I hesitated before making the change becuase I am running out of time but I am glad that I did, in the higher position it was next to the wistera and looked To Big…in its new postion it looks like it is in front of the wistera and so the scale looks right and it creates a better line, bringing the eye down into the picture.

I have added a bit more to the Garden in the bottom right corner.

and I have learnt how to put text beside photos.

Pond

Some reeds around the pond and the background is done and it is time to add charms…below are some that my son Sam has painted for me.

Moonlit Garden November 1st, 2005

I have added a silvery moon to the sky so I now have a Moonlit Garden…I have also painted the cloads on and added tiny gold flowers across the bottom of the right side garden, so enough wasn’t enough lol… Both gardens looked nice but because I did different style gardens they didn’t match, adding the tiny flowers across the front of both gardens has united them so that they now read as the same garden…I have put a large image on flickr

I also had problems with the colour of wistera because I had not used any mauve in the garden, Sharonlooked through her thread collection for me and came up with a pale pink/mauve/blue varigated thread that still looks like wistera but is pale enough to blend in….I must say that I was pleased to finish the wisteria as denim is very hard to pull the needle through at the best of times and even harder in the limited space of the pocket.
