Adding a rim

I finished the bowl and then did a row of tent stitch using three ply of Splendor to set off the edge and while I was at it, did all the horizontal and vertical lines in the pedestal as well.  Then I resumed working the lip of the rim in the Flemish Bond stitch.

The Basin

I continued working the basin of the bath in the Flemish Bond stitch with the four strands of Splendor.  I almost completed the bottom section.  Notice the single row of canvas above and below the bowl and that the pattern will continue above before the snow starts and below before the pedestal.

Bottom half

The bottom half is all brick stitched over to the bottom of the pair of leaves on the left and up to the top right corner one you can see.  I finished up the left side today and also went back to work on the bath bowl itself with the Flemish Bond stitch using four strands of Splendor. 

Back to the bath

 It really is a picture of the lower half of the Brrr--rrr--ddd Bath by Charley Harper and I worked in the lower left section tonight.  I am doing Brick stitch over two with two strands of Splendor 1072 and laying the threads.  When I first cropped this picture, I thought....hhmmmmm headless fishies in a pool but really it is not!  I am such a smart aleck some times....forgive me!

The final three

I finished the last three hearts on the bottom left.  One is entirely beaded--in the corner, and the other two were done in Rhodes stitch--one in Gold Fyre Werks and the other in Neon Rays.  So, this one goes in the completed column.  It will go to one of my sisters and she is having it framed for her home.  I will make sure we get a picture after it is framed.

I took it outside to photo so you can catch the glints of all the glitz!

Believe it or not

Believe it or not really.....I spent all my stitching time today on these two hearts.  I was sure I could finish all five, but these are a lot more detailed than I anticipated.  I started the top  right one by doing the blue in Silk Lame Braid, followed by the Frosty rays in white and then added all of the Mill Hill Petite Beads.  Then on the lower left one, I did all the Kreinik Gold outline and center design.  Then the Silk Lame blue in the middle design followed by the white areas in Kreinik 12b efore finishing the blue bands and Rhodes heart in Christopher!  Imagine that was almost three hours!

Five to go

Working from the top down, I added more beads around the heart in the center of the top row to finish filling it in with the Magnificas.  I then used Kreinik to outline the large heart and filled in the center pattern with Frosty rays and the final blue beads to finish that one. Laid Flair and Fyre Werks fill in the one next to it.  A Neon Rays Rhodes heart filled in that one on the edge below it.  To the left of that one, I used Flair and Christopher to basketweave that design.
