Re: Kristin's Hortus Viridarium - Part 2

Post by kristinsaty »

Here is my part 2. I finished it last weekend but between my little girl starting kindergarden, ds1 getting jealous and ds2 teething I haven't had the chance to take a picture until today. I went ahead and started the beading but left off the crystals, I think that I will do those at the end. I am also really sorry that I couldn't get better pictures of the stitches. They are really fantastic and it is soo glitery.

Lovely work! It's so hard to capture the beauty of Chats in a photograph, they're always so much sparklier and lush IRL!

Thanks for the kind words. You are all very encouraging. Now I have to figure out how to make it until in next part comes out in October! I guess in the meantime I will be working on Christmas presents. I may start a general sal thread for my other wips, there are only 17 or so.
