;Hot Cocoa is finished

Hot Cocoa is by Nicole Tamarin and is now finished. Canvas from The Needlepoint Clubhouse, stitches by me.

Finished

I added the whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles so this one is done!

A lot more

I finished addding all the pearl beads to cover the black dots, stitched the cookie and added the red beads to the top of that and then did more shadowing stitching around the outside to create a shape for finishing.

Here and there

I finished the cup in Neon Rays and started adding the pearl beads over the black dots that were randomly painted on the canvas.

Getting there!

More progress on the cup today...should be able to finish the cup tomorrow!

The cup

I started the cup using Neon Rays in alternating double brick and am skipping the black dots for now.

Adding on

I finished all of the shadow stitching around the outside, filled in the area of the cup handle, stitched the black rim in Neon Rays and then stitched the handle in horizontal brick using two colors of Neon Rays.

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.
