\"Crested<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

You may recall that my mother and I have been doing some embellishments for a Christmas Tablecloth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have twelve angels (or is it eighteen?) to do. I don’t think they’ll be done in time for this Christmas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, I do feel quite pleased that we’ve got the stitch choices set, at least for the green angels (half of the angels have green capes, the other half have red capes).<\/p>\n\n\n

The wings are edged with crested chain stitch, and the cape has a shoulder line of closed feather stitch, and another line of petal stitch. The dress is defined with a pattern of up and down blanket stitches, since it is actually the background fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On that subject, the face wil also be part of the background fabric, defined by the hair. We’ve not come up with a good solution for that, yet. Or for how much face there will, in fact, be. With such a small area, if we misplace an eye or a nose, we’re careering straight into uncanny valley. And we don’t want to be there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, anyway, three complete. Onwards!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
