\"One<\/a>
One Side Of Design<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

One of the exasperating elements of this project is that the lovely clear, delicate green of the fabric isn’t showing on any of the photos I am taking. This strange, rather disheartening cream fails to reflect one of the pleasures of working on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here you see the side of the coat with the two lilac half-circle motifs. There are also three circle motifs, and two huge leaves, not to mention all the little teal leaves that I’ve not even applied yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The circles have been relatively easy, but both the fawn leaves and the two lilac motifs are giving trouble…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"About<\/a>
About to be undone..<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first one of the two lilac motifs has rather lost the way home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Somehow it is fussy, tired, and full of the wrong sort of detail. It’s also too dark. I need to reduce the dark blue and dark maroon stitching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not even sure that the felt will survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, I like the blanket stitch variation of the lilac stitches, and the green Reverse Palestrina Stitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/a>
A better version..<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is a better version. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There aren’t as many colours, or as many stitches as in the version I’m not happy about. The fronds are in Cable Chain and Twisted Chain, and the purple trellis is couched with the blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I need to unpick the first one and come back to it, informed by the much better second version. I don’t want it to be entirely the same, but closer would certainly be better!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
