Mabel's designs

[Mabel Figworthy]

OK, I'm not allowed to show them, which is annoying, but...



I've finished both the stitched models for the magazine article!

Now I've got to lace them onto foam board, finish the instrustions and edit the last few the progress pictures, and get them sent off safely for the deadline later this month.

I'm going to post one tiny bit of it, just to show you the last part that I completed yesterday without giving away the whole thing:

That looks fantastic Mabel

Looking forward to seeing the rest

That is very interesting Mabel. Thank you for the little peek .

[wendywombat]

Well, that's beautiful!

....and very intriguing

[Mabel Figworthy]

You'll have to wait until end of March to see the whole thing - apparently it takes four months to put a magazine together

Looks like a piece of an ancient dress with gold work to me. The piece itself is absolutely beautiful, I can imagine how impressive the whole project must be.

End of March!?!?!

It will be worth the wait though! Yor designs are always just that bit Special.

Sounds about right. But which magazine?

[Mabel Figworthy]

The usual - Stitch. I have built up a good rapport with their editor, which makes for a pleasant working environment. Compared to others they pay quite well too. Divided by the hours spent designing and stitching, plus the materials, it wouldn't keep me in tea bags, but it's a nice bonus to something I'd be doing anyway

[Serinde]

You are getting a reputation... the ladies in my stitching group are quite impressed that I know "the" Mabel Figworthy.

[Mabel Figworthy]

It took a bit of work, but I think I've got the perspective right!

[Roland]

Beautiful.

[Serinde]

Now that's gorgeous chain stitch!! Perspective is good.

Quite agree !!

Hmm. Hourglass is on hold, possibly indefinitely, as I'm not happy with the look of the sand in the top half of the glass. I've decided to put it away for a bit and then come back to it to see if it's grown on me.
Meanwhile, I'm thinking I really ought to do a bit of Hengest this weekend...
