To be honest, I'd never really considered doing it the other way. Up the revolution!!=)Elizabeth Braunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04067860880479674275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119166177210424241.post-64992576869756036652013-10-24T22:22:08.190+10:302013-10-24T22:22:08.190+10:30Hi Elizabeth, once I did it, it was kind of a no-b...Hi Elizabeth, once I did it, it was kind of a no-brainer. It really makes so much more sense doesn't it and the edges are neat and well sealed. <br />Good to hear you recovered in time for your trip. <br />annaAnna https://www.blogger.com/profile/02942756202056729563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119166177210424241.post-48922530498365594412013-10-24T21:20:13.240+10:302013-10-24T21:20:13.240+10:30Hi Anna!

I was glad to read your comments about order of work on the wired leaves as, when I did a tutorial earlier this year on wired stumpwork elements, it sparked quite a discussion afterwards as I too had done it in Jenny Adin-Christie's manner - fill in first and outline last. That's always been my way of doing it and I'm glad to know I have fellow late-outliners in 'high' places!!!=)<br /><br />PS, Thanks for your nice comment on Sew in Love. Yes, I made it to London and will post about that soon.=)Elizabeth Braunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04067860880479674275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119166177210424241.post-69446972137866454262013-10-24T11:44:20.853+10:302013-10-24T11:44:20.853+10:30I can imagine that would be one of the few times t...I can imagine that would be one of the few times that wearing your knickers in public would be a relief!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12224346283881001640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119166177210424241.post-18770114017732322172013-10-23T12:56:12.448+10:302013-10-23T12:56:12.448+10:30Thank you all for your comments - they are all wel...Thank you all for your comments - they are all welcomed like a nice warm hug.

I love it but not too many opportunities come my way. I have actually performed with the Australian Opera, but only as part of the chorus. Opera is a total package, just like heavy metal. Magnificence, acting, costumes, music, stagecraft, noise, silliness, drama, interesting ending. It is always big. Opera exists in many cultures across the globe, with slight differences.<br />Now get started on making something for yourself that is inspired by the glorious costumes you saw. Perhaps a cuff or a headband??MLM247https://www.blogger.com/profile/06365562372896637044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119166177210424241.post-85614559968299337732013-10-22T16:54:47.776+10:302013-10-22T16:54:47.776+10:30So glad your bee is not permanently damaged.

Sometimes the costuming is the highlight a performance for me.<br /><br />Love your little stumpwork bee. Bravo to you for persevering with patience to insure that she "flies right".
