\"Christus<\/a>

Christus Natus Est - More Progress<\/p><\/div>\n

Since the Christus Natus Est panel<\/a> seemed to be so popular, I thought I’d provide another update.<\/p>\n

As you can see, the curves that indicate the Virgin’s robes aren’t right at all. I can correct that later,\u00a0 rather as I will correct the Christ Child’s halo – and indeed, put in St Joseph’s halo, which I decided not to attempt to include in the first stitching, because the other two haloes presented such challenges!<\/p>\n

You can see that I have loads of needles working with all the different colours of silk and several sections of gold. It’s always more difficult working from the far end of a colour section (relative to the direction of the spiral) and using more than one colour on the robes has helped me there, because I’ve usually managed to have at least one of the colours placed in such a way as to help by catching the gold thread in place. Otherwise, because it is so springy, it’s hard to keep the curve smooth, and in a couple of places the thread is longer than it should have been and creates a slight gap with the line before.<\/p>\n
