<\/a>Signature Cartouche<\/p><\/div>\n
I’ve worked my Morse Code cartouche slightly differently this time, using cross stitch for the dots, long armed cross stitch for the dashes, and counted running stitch for the frame. This works rather well, so it’s a possibility for any eventual canvaswork projects in the future.<\/p>\n
However, in this instance it is almost completely invisible, so I may yet unpick it and rework it twice the size, with four threads in each direction instead of two.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Finished Head Of Nefertiti<\/p><\/div>\n
In the end, if you recall, I decided to work Nefertiti’s cartouche, both the hieroglyphs and the frame, in reverse chain stitch using untwisted silk.<\/p>\n
The rays of the Aten are worked in reverse chain stitch, but using hand twisted silk.<\/p>\n
I am a little concerned about balance and the strength of the design, but when I was playing with my photos of of the finished panel, I noticed that when I cropped the picture closely, rather than including all of the length I have stitched of the rays of the Aten, it was much improved.<\/p>\n
That happened with the Camberwell Panel<\/a>, and with Loading the Felucca<\/a>, as well, so I shouldn’t be surprised.<\/p>\n And I really should remember to play with that sort of detail when I am mounting and finishing my embroideries!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Unless I decide otherwise, the head of Nefertiti is now finished.
