2016 Round in Circles Hardanger SAL

[wendywombat]

The coloured RiC's are so different from the white and equally lovely.

I decided in the end not to do these, but I have enjoyed watching them being stitched and displayed here.

What will you do next I wonder?

[kingfisher68]

They are absolutely gorgeous Mabel. I feel a bit like Richard in knowing I cannot match your skills but so love seeing them. They are so very beautiful

Here is a slightly bigger pic of my final SAL stitch. Now all I need to do is turn them into 24 cards....



The second blog post is now up, and it shows you how to use a piece of metallic card instead of kid leather. Here are both methods together, although it's rather difficult to show the different effects because it's hard to get the shine right in a photograph!

The one on the left is silver kid over two layers of felt, the one on the right is silver card.

I enjoyed doing both of them in spite of the rush and the problems with the silk ribbon which did not want to lie flat a couple of times but I got them done. The Dec one was easy to stitch - once I had the placements worked out and I definitely the X bars.

[Serinde]

Not in Sally's league, but here are three cards going to America (strike permitting). Mabel, if you want to capture these for your gallery of finishes, be my guest.

So elegant and gorgeous. I love them Serinde and your stitching is oh so much more even than mine these days. WELL DONE

[karen4bells]

Serinde and Sally, those are all amazing!!! Nice stitching ladies!! I'm in awe!!

[Mabel Figworthy]

Definitely one (or rather three) for the Gallery! Don't they come out well in their white surroundings.

[rcperryls]

Beautiful cards, Serinde!! They remind me of delicate wedgewood pieces.

Thanks. For the record, the cards aren't a flat white, they are pearlescent, so extending the theme a bit.

Even better - what a shame photographs don't pick up such subtleties
