I had my Japanese stitching meeting over the weekend and one of my friends mentioned she couldn't see the Instagram links I put in my last post Ismek and Tel Kirma. It made me realize that Blogger and Instagram don't play nice when the post comes in email for those are subscribed to my newsletter. In future, I will put in a note that you need to click on the post to view it as I do with the videos and animated pictures. In the meantime, you can view the two Instagram links I posted here and here.
Now onto some stitching progress, of which there is very little. Energy has been kind of low this past week, so I didn't do much. I spent most of it talking with the ladies and we had a demonstration on how to finish a piece so it's ready for framing. I'll be doing that very soon for three of my own pieces, so I'll take some pictures and share them here with you.
I decided to work on finishing the Valerian that I had started. It didn't require a lot of concentration passed making sure the lines were straight, so it was perfect for my current mood.
I feel a little guilty at this lack of progress. I'm hoping that once the rush of all the preparations for seminar are over I'll be able to put in more time on it.

It's not always easy to be consistently energetic for something that takes this much concentration. But at the very least it must have been a lovely quiet stitch looking at a gorgeous colour!
ReplyDeleteIt really is such a pretty color and it photographs beautifully too.
DeleteSometimes we just need a bit of a break Dima! I look forward to seeing how you were told to finish your pieces to see how it is different from the RSN way.
ReplyDeleteThose are very long lines to keep smooth and straight. Beautiful coloured thread.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very pretty flower! You did great keeping the lines straight. Is it done like that or is there another 'layer' over the yellow?
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's nowhere near done. There are a few layers of stitching that will go on top of it :)
DeleteYou make it look easy, but I don't think I'd do as well!
