YAY! My first ambitious blackwork project is finally finished!!!!!!
The astute among you will see that I’ve decided not to do the border. This was because it would have taken me a lot longer to finish and I would definitely have run out of gold thread!!!
Most people I asked prefer this without the border and I agree (I may even get this framed at some point).
Very happy with the outcome of this piece and can’t wait to try more!!! Since I designed this I have done quite a few other blackwork patterns. Some of which will get featured on my website in due course.
The second ambitious project I spoke about at the start of this project is currently on hold because the fabric I had chosen was not dark enough to show the white thread that makes up a large portion of the design. I have seen some darker fabric on Sew and So which I plan to get but this will have to wait until I have been paid again later this month.
For now, let me know what you think:
Oh, and I have also posted this over on deviantART as well, so please have a mooch on there too:

It looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt looks excellent, and I love all the different patterns you used! I have to ask, though- was it more difficult to do the blackwork aspects, or make the glitter floss look that amazingly tidy?
ReplyDeleteWow, looks amazing! Congrats on finishing it!
