More Framing

Seasons of Love 

Seasons of Winter

Both are framed in a brushed outer and shiny inner bordered frame.  I added Organza on each canvas to match the threads at the top and bottom.

And done....

All the embellishing is done.  Couched Kreinik, beaded sequins, beads on the stars, snowflakes and tree trunk.  I am going to run another beading thread through the letters to tighten the straight  line.

The bottom band

The bottom band of the tree is done!  Just a bit more stitching to go!

The middle

The middle section is done.  The gold stars are tent stitched with Silk Lame Braid.  The purple stars are Cashmere stitch with Neon Rays.  The background is Nobuko with Impressions.  I also did two the rows of tent stitch that divides the bottom section from the  middle.  The background stitch was supposed to be Kennan but that leaves holes so the blue background would have shown through.  Nobuko covers well and continues with the diagonal theme from the top section.

Lots going on.

Sorry, I forgot to post this yesterday!  It is the time of year to shovel snow, wrap packages and all the usual Christmas preparations!  I finished the left side by doing tent stitches in Silk Lame for the snowflakes.  Then the background is more Silk Lame Braid in Diagonal Cashmere stitches.  The top third of the tree is worked in Kreinik for the white stripes.  The gold and purple stripes are Cashmere in more Silk Lame Braid and the dark tent stitches are Impressions.

Background progress

I worked on background only and am just about done with the top section.

Seasons of Winter

This is  Danji design Ch-219 called Seasons of Winter, tree #1.  It is designed in blues but I am changing the colors to purples!  The two outer bands are done and I have started the basketweave in the top right corner.  Notice the big difference in color I made!  

I did Seasons of Love a while ago and this will be a gift too!
