\"Progress<\/a>

Progress on the Christmas Angel<\/p><\/div>\n

You may recall that a very long time ago I listed some projects<\/a> I wanted to work on this year, prompted by Meredithe at Pomegranate and Chintz<\/a> and Anne at Frayed At The Edge<\/a>.\u00a0 Mereditithe’s most recent post for the challenge is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then the Head of Nefertiti<\/a> swept into my head and my hands and took almost all my brain power and stitching time, and Nothing Happened.<\/p>\n

Well, something has now happened. I’ve had the Christmas Angel<\/a> sitting in the corner of the living room waiting to be noticed, and a little while ago, I got to a natural Stop and Think point with my other projects.<\/p>\n

So I have made a start on the background. I’m using metallic machine thread, two strands for the rough, textured threads in the centre of each cell, and three strands, one of each of three shades for the framework. It’s beyond fiddly and flyaway, and I’ve even bought some Thread Heaven to see whether it helps (a bit, maybe not quite as much as I hoped).<\/p>\n

All that said, I think it is going to look rather splendid when it is finished. The idea is that it should be somewhat reminiscent of an icon painted on gold leaf. Some of them have a sort of engraved “diaper pattern” effect, and I hope that the diamond flame bargello pattern will do the job.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
