Earth Goddess - Finished!!

Post by Fizzbw »

Well here she is! The fourth and final Goddess - Earth.

I chose some lovely fabric from Polstitches, its great - as always the picture doesn't do it justice.

I started late Tuesday, and chose the hardest bit - the arms!

Image

I'm going to have to stop it, hopefully next week as I'm going to have an operation to sort my wires out, and hopefully that will mean that my stimulator works better! Shouldn't be in hospital too long. I'll take Denman and Kauto there as the Goddess is too vulnerable to carry around.

I'll find a finished pic of her soon.

Niki xx

Thank you folks :)

Here is her in her full finished glory (from the mag)

I did the butterflies and the circle yesterday, but managed to miscount so one butterfly and the circle had to go! That awful moment where you think "its wrong, maybe it doesn't matter, oh hell it does, sigh, where are the scissors...."

Sorry to hear about the circle and the butterfly. Sometimes it doesn't matter, and sometimes we have no choice. But you still have a butterfly or two. and what you had already done. Can't wait to see more.

So pretty...silly question from a newbie. Are those white 'dots' beads or (I think they are called) French Knots? I'm working on a peacock I got from a book at my library and was thinking of putting just a few beads in his feathers to catch the light!

Having seen other designs by this designer, I think they are most likely beads.
