Slow progress is being made on the new
Codex Canadensis piece. The beaver was tricky to stitch as the Louis Nicolas drawing was shaded with a dark watercolour, making it hard to see the lines. I still have more to do in this section, but I'm going to work on another area for a bit, then come back to it.
For the first time, I am using a beautiful Belgian linen for the background. It is so much nicer to stitch on than the cotton duck canvas. It costs almost ten times as much, but I think it is worth it.
Always glad to see posts about this project, Heather. x
ReplyDeleteOoh, scary beaver! Very cool tail. Your work deserves the best materials, Heather. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeletesuch beautiful rendering of line and texture
ReplyDeletea very ferocious beaver. enjoy stitching on the linen.
ReplyDeleteyes, ducks would be hard to stitch on..with all that quacking going on....
ReplyDeleteok. i will stop. but, i actually wanted to comment about taking a picture of the beaver and trying different 'filters' on your choice of photo programs. you might be able to get the lines to stand out more???
