Fountain pen in its box

Just added a few photos of the fountain pen all tucked up in its pen box. Not great photos. It seems that this is one of those projects that do not photograph well. At least that gives you some idea.

Roland is quite happy to finally have it :-)

Fountain pen

Well, here is a photo of the finished fountain pen. Will try to take a better one when it is inside the box. It is not perfect, far from it but I am so darn fed up with it that it will have to do.

Mine so far above and SharonG below.

This is what I have done on it so far. Remains too add something on the top part of the pen like Roland's initials and to do the background.

The Morning After: Finishing done

Two photos showing the front and back of my stand-up frame.

Will do the same exact kind of finishing for The Night Before :-)

The Morning After: Beginning of finishing

Well, you can see the front part ready to be attached to the back part, which is a kind of velvet that is very soft and changes colors depending on the lighting - it looks dark here but really is not that dark at all. I still need to work on putting fabric on the stand piece and then attach all together with a little ribbon to control the amount of length the stand will open up while standing and of course cording all around, so a bit more work to do.

Desire: All done and ready for hanging

Here is Desire all ready for framing :-)

I really love it.

Desire: Finishing process

This is the beginning of my finishing process. I want to be able to hang it on my wall, so am making a fabric frame for it.

This is how Susan Portra had hers finished, as an ornament.

Photo of Desire all stitched. Next photo will be of Desire ready to put on my wall.

Twilight Angel: Christmas gift for Terry

Here is the project that I will be stitching for you, Terry, for this upcoming Christmas. Will blog my stitching so that you will be able to see it coming to life :-)

Diamond Iris: Framed

I really like it. The frame is exactly the same color as the border and by using the whitest white possible, it really make the whole design stand out.

Don't look at the wallpaper behind it. I know it does not fit but this is the best place I know of in my home where I get the best lighting but I need to take the photograph a bit sideway so that I don't get all the glare on the glass.

Terra Rosa: Storage jar

Just complete the fourth one this morning. This is a storage jar.

Photo showing all that has been done so far. Next one that needs to be stitched is the one to the left of the yellow water jar and is a "flat plate"

The end is now in sight :-)
