Almost all of them

I stitched most of the stems and sepals on the right side. I did not quite get them all done, but most of them are. I will finish them tomorrow and go back to working on the ribbons. I made one more change to this canvas. It kept bothering me that the left and bottom borders were so wide and it was throwing the focus off kilter. So, I mixed up some more paint, and changed those too!

Everything looks more polished each day you post progress photos. I personally liked the off-kilter borders but then this isn't my canvas. I think it is going to look lovely and will be a unique interpretation of your style once it is finished. I am impressed how brave you are about changing things to suit your own tastes, Pat.

Would you be willing to talk about painted over the canvas? How easy/hard it is, what paint you used, how long it takes to dry, etc.? I'm very curious about this.

Will do!

Ordinarily that assymetric border is attractive - but NOT on this canvas. You have greatly improved the look of the whole thing with the changes you made. Good job!! Painting over an already painted canvas isn't totally easy - the holes want to clog, but the paint I use dries almost instantly.

Thanks, Judy!
