So I just have one more colour to do on her first wing and then that's finished. I can have another day of happy easy stitching. I also went back and filled in the little spots of colour on the first part of her wing with scrap threads.

This method really does make it so much easier to get through her wings. I look foreward to being able to do the regular stitching so I push through the hard stitching rather than becoming overwhealmed.

I think it's a good idea with pacing the harder wing areas... With my dragon all the sparkly parts got pretty frustrating

Oh, absolutely Dammetje.. They're really frustrating and really hard work, but they look really really good and that more than makes up for it. I think Lynn will love the overall effect, even if she doesn't know how mean those wings have been to me. I'm not a fan of kreinik threads, and this filament has snapped on more than one occassion so far.

Owch, I can imagine, Faith. But it looks spectacular. The price we pay I guess.

Thank you ^_^

I did some more yesterday, but I didn't get much done I'm afraid. I learned why the sick should stay in bed though *nod nod*

Just caught up with this one. You're getting on well with it angel. I couldn't help but think her wings looked a bit strange when I was looking at it, but now I've looked back at the original, I realised why! She has a double set. :lol:

Why is it that a thread is always between 1 and 4 stitches too short to finish a section?

Anyways, I get a lovely day of stitching normal threads now ^_^
