Ari's Dreams

Layer two is finished!

 I finished the low relief stitches of my first Sumptuous Surfaces piece last night.  Yay!  I put three pictures in my gallery, but I just noticed that the third one, the detail of the inner arch, is blurry.  I will have to take another photo of that part tonight.  Meanwhile, here are the other two.  The full picture is a little crooked because the piece wasn't under tension when I took the photo.  It will all straighten out and not look crooked when it is properly finished off and ready for framing or whatever I decide to do with it.

 

Full Picture   Detail, upper corner

 The first is a picture of the whole piece.  The one on the right is a detail of the upper corner of the piece.  Now I get to start adding knots and beads!  Yay!  I've been waiting for this part.
