It adds even more three-dimensionality and looks just great. And the blue triangles are perfect!

As much as I don't miss really cold winters, I do miss the 'hunkering down' bit. <br />Sadly I have not managed any more work on the poor jester.. I have a few class projects and kits to get sorted so between that and work, there is really not much time left for anything... you know how it is.<br />Stay warm<br />Anna xAnna https://www.blogger.com/profile/02942756202056729563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119166177210424241.post-18311154185378966152019-02-13T11:26:12.424+10:302019-02-13T11:26:12.424+10:30I have never been good at planning too much.. whic...I have never been good at planning too much.. which at times result in copious amounts of 'reverse stitching'<br />Anna https://www.blogger.com/profile/02942756202056729563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119166177210424241.post-33058622191393550002019-02-13T11:25:24.288+10:302019-02-13T11:25:24.288+10:30Thanks so much.

It is based on a style called Stumpwork which was at its height in the second half of the 17th century. Everything is created with stitches, using wires and other materials to create the raised effect. It is fiddly but fun.<br />I hope you are staying warm an cosy inside.<br />Anna XAnna https://www.blogger.com/profile/02942756202056729563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119166177210424241.post-81362872314487549992019-02-13T04:44:28.029+10:302019-02-13T04:44:28.029+10:30Hi Anna, While SA is hot and dry we are having lot...Hi Anna, While SA is hot and dry we are having lots of snow in BC. We do not receive a lot of snow here on the coast so things seem to come to a halt and all schools have closed. <br />Eastern Canada laughs at us as we do not seem to manage it very well. <br />However it is a great time to hunker down and work on projects. <br />The textured pantaloons with their frilled cuff look fabulous! No doubt you have now completed the other leg and I look forward to seeing the Jester attired.<br />I always learn something when I read your blog. Thank you I appreciate being able to do so. <br />Hope you enjoyed your time away. I love the freedom of riding a bike for pleasure to explore and of course to the coffee shop!<br />Regards Janineminwkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08487584020742239991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119166177210424241.post-27725748769434353302019-02-13T04:12:08.105+10:302019-02-13T04:12:08.105+10:30So pretty!

It will do you good, rest is aways needed in stressful times.<br />I've said it before but I'm amazed by your excellent embroidery skills, I haven't seen this sort of embroidery before. It looks a bit of 3D work, but then realized in embroidery stitches. It's done very clever and it looks beautiful already now. As always I do like the colorscheme of your work.<br />Have a nice weekend (or at least I hope you've had a nice weekend, seen the fact that you live Down Under ;O).<br />Hugs, IlonaIlonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01325745983964748534noreply@blogger.com
