Re: Mabel's designs
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.

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

Re: Mabel's designs
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.

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

Re: Mabel's designs
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

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

Re: Mabel's designs
It took a bit of work, but I think I've got the perspective right!

Re: Mabel's designs
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...
