GettingStarted<\/p><\/div>\n

There is relatively little to say about Ankhsenpaaten, because the form will be created with loads of seed stitches in slightly different shades of silk thread, so there will simply be more of the same.<\/p>\n

However, you may find it interesting to watch it come into focus, so I will post a series of pictures, along with what comments I feel I can make.<\/p>\n

You can see from the earlier post that I only transferred the most basic of outlines, so I am using the photograph as my reference and working the various shades over one another to develop the layers of colour and shade.<\/p>\n
