Ted’s
gone on a weekend trip with his canoe class, so I spent most of yesterday with the
Kingfisher.The threads I’ve used so far
are DMC black floss, YLI black silk, and Kreinik #4 in light blue and darker
blue.I have a few chores this morning, but
hope to start working on the cattails a little later today.
Thanks! So far my eyes are fine, so I guess I need to be working on it while I can. I'm getting older all the time. I enjoy the even exactness of the blackwork stitches.
Thanks Margaret, The design area is about 8 inches by 9 inches. It's a little smaller than the peacock or the pheasants, but I'd like to have them framed in the same size frames (some day).
Stunning work, but aren't your eyes getting sore? After doing my first and only Blackwork piece I wowed never to go near Blackwork again!

DeleteLove the Kingfisher. My mother asked how big the finished piece will be?
