Almost there!

I think this is about three fourths of the tablecloth!  I should have started doing some of this sooner! Sorry, it is a bit on an angle! I figure 4-5 more hours and it will be done!  It is looking good even if it takes a while!

Toasting Thanksgiving

Corliss has had more than her share of the Champagne as you can see by the empty bottle in the bucket!  Both are all stitched now using lots of Kreiniks and some Water n Ice.  Hope you and your friends and family have a great Turkey Day!

Jacket

I have started the jacket.  Neon Rays, Kreinik, Fyre Werks and Gold Rush cover all the colors!

Start a bit

I am moving right along on this and decided I best get some of the tablecloth done!  It is all across the
bottom of the canvas and looks like a brocade.  I am using Splendor to create the pattern.

And the lapels

So the camisole is done!  So are the lapels!  I am starting the jacket colors and have the black in.

Starting Lapels

The jacket is up next and I am stitching the lapels with Flair.  The left one is done and most of the right one.  I also added the dark brown line above her face next to her hair.

Starting the Camisole

The camisole is all worked in Neon rays and I have the black all done and am working on the purple.  Almost done with it and you noticed I am covering up the necklace, right?

Hair and .........

Her hair is done and so is the cigarette, holder and smoke.  The brim and top of the hat are done too!  She is a fast gal and stitch!  BTW, the hair is a different stitch than I used on Corliss I.

Fun stuff

All of the skin, blush, lips, nails are done.  I also did the choker at her neck and her ring.

The Basics

I generally do all of the skin first and Corliss is no exception.  Her face, chest and arms are all done in Splendor and I have completed the lightest and medium values.  Just the dark tone to go!

Champagne Corliss, #2

Yes, I am stitching a second Champagne Corliss by Leigh Designs.  She is from the Floozies collections. A friend has asked for one.  I don't generally stitch the same thing  twice but I made an exception for her.  I will be changing just a couple of things from the first one I did and mostly following that stitch guide.  Will let you know what I change!

A lot more feathers

All of my stitching time was feathers!  I got a lot done but will have at least one more day on the rest of the feathers.

Big Progress

All of the skin is now done!  Yippee!  I then moved on and am working on the feathers on your right. I am getting anxious to get the bracelets and more embellishing done!

Just more leg

I finished the back leg down to her front foot!  While it may not look like much that is a lot of leg!

Right side Feathers

I have started the right side Feathers!  I made great progress today.  I also brushed out the left side feathers at the top as I wanted to see how it is going to look!

Border work

I spent all of my stitching time on borders!  The left side border is done down to the bottom and I added more to the right side as well.  Time to do more feathers!

Front leg and gray

I finished the front leg clear to her shoe and then started the gray feathers on the right.

Sunday, November 3, 2013

And more feathers

I worked down the right border some more and then did all the rest of the feathers on the left side.

More leg and border

The front leg is done down to the knee!  I also worked on the the right border.....back at it!

Great costumes!

 Kailyn was a witch--even with her broken wrist cast!  Falling off the monkey bars did not deter her!
Peyton was Darth Vadar!  The kids had fun even though we took umbrellas due to the drizzle and then rain!
