Wow, I ended up putting almost 14 hours in this time. I got stuck into that bottom border of "Millennium" and just didn't want to stop until the outside of the base was done. (Also finished the water area.)
Where I started:
And here's the entire thing:
And here's the entire thing:
There's still quite a bit to go on this project:
- Green/gold vines on each side of the base - like in the upper arch
- Backstitch the lower vines
- Backstitch the angel's under-robes on each side
- Backstitch the base
- Verse in over one and backstitch
- Metallic on sword blade and backstitch the blade and hilt
- Upright cross stars (sky area)
- Beaded stars (space area)
- Beads in upper foliage
- Take project off frame so as not to roll up any beaded area
- Beads on figures (broaches and sword hilt) - in hand
- Beads in lower foliage - in hand
- sign and date it
- wash and press
So several more rotations. But I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!
Next up is my son's USMC seal. I have gridded out the rest of page 5 and part of page 6. "OF THE NAVY" will get me to the half way point on the over one border. Each little square of the grid is 100 stitches.
