I’m
continuing with my year-long attempt at finishing projects that have been stuck
and lay unfinished for far too long. The
next project on my list is this beaded shawl.
It was a class from the Chicago EGA National Seminar. Unfortunately, I did not finish it promptly
when I returned home from the seminar.
When I picked it up to work on here in Japan, I discovered the kit was
short on beads. If I had discovered the
shortage when still living in the US, I would have contacted the teacher. After all this time and the distance, I did
not. I was very upset about using other
beads and put the project aside.
This
was an expensive class and kit, so I do want to finish it one way or another. I’m
disappointed that it won’t be finished as originally intended, but I’m
determined to do the best that I can with what I have. I'll try to have some progress to show next week.
It's always disappointing when kits are not properly stocked....but having seen how talented you are, I have no doubt that you'll do a marvelous job of finishing this, Pamela!
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame Pamela but I am sure it will still be beautiful. xx
ReplyDeleteIt's very pretty. I hope you end up wearing it.
ReplyDeleteIt IS very pretty. Surely in Japan you could find beads like the ones you are short of. Japanese beads are among the very best made and often my preference. I hope you are able to finish it and proudly wear it. I love shawls.
ReplyDeleteIt's a gorgeous shawl. I hope you'll be able to finish it.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a talented stitcher that I'm sure it will be beautiful with whatever you do as a work-around. It is incredibly frustrating to run short on kitted supplies.
