\"Necklace<\/a>

Necklace and Polychrome Bands<\/p><\/div>\n

So this is where we left the Head of Nefertiti. the polychrome bands and the gold edges of the headdress are done, and I have worked a section of necklace.<\/p>\n

I keep flip-flopping between feeling that that section of necklace is just right, and feeling that it really isn’t enough at all. I like the sense of a delicate flash of colour barely surviving the years, but at the same time, there’s an inner glitter-girl that wants to see a bit more than that..<\/p>\n

\"Gold<\/a>

Gold Browband<\/p><\/div>\n

So, while I think a little more about the necklace question, I thought I’d make another attempt at the browband. This time it is simply straight stitches, in a slightly finer thread than the rest of the gold stitching. It’s not perfectly regular, but, again, the slight unevenness evokes the damage of the years.<\/p>\n

And besides, by now, you must know that regularity of stitching is not my forte!<\/p>\n

\"Is<\/a>

Is it done yet?<\/p><\/div>\n

So, again, I find myself at a pause.<\/p>\n

I’m happy with the browband, I think, definitely happy with the polychrome bands, and the gold trim.<\/p>\n

However, I’m still not sure whether I’m happy with the necklace.<\/p>\n

Since my thought is to quilt a pattern into the background, I had best be certain that I’m happy before I start attaching padding and picking patterns!<\/p>\n
