Gabrielle

I am finally going to get started on this project! I purchased it back in 2004 and it kept sliding to the bottom of the project pile. Gabrielle is by Anna-Marie Winter. It can be worked in many ways and the instructions give you ideas of ways to do several areas of the project except for the face. After that you have options for the hair and wings. It can be finished as a flat ornament, put on a jacket or a purse insert, a purse, and the options are never ending as to your use of it. I am going to decide as I go along as to what threads, beads and stitches I will be using as well as how I will be finishing it.

Hot Cocoa is framed!

More framing.....Hot Cocoa by Nicole Tamarin is framed in a brushed silver with a red suede mat over a silver lining mat. I have also finished the stitch guide for this piece and it is available as a pdf file or printed copy.
