What with one thing and another – largely to do with the Hittite Amulet<\/a> and the consequent overdose on metal threads – the Tudor Rose<\/a> has been snoozing quietly in a boxfile for months, not drawing attention to itself.<\/p>\n

\"Spot<\/a>

Spot The Mistake!<\/p><\/div>\n

I’ve decided, however, that it’s time it got finished, so that I can move on to other things, and the first step was to complete the white and silver petals of the rose.\u00a0 I was puzzled and confused when I did my first petal after the break, because it didn’t present the same appearance as the other ones.

Working it in leaf shapes really doesn’t make it any easier!<\/p>\n

There are three more of these, two each to be woven into with different colours of green Soie Perl\u00e9e. Tricia says to pack the weavings in as tightly as possible.<\/p>\n

We’ll just have to see how that turns out, won’t we…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
