Blackwork Pt 3
The first cuff is finally done!
Unfortunately I got a little behind on my embroidery once Dickens Fair started and all of my time and energy went into my new dresses. But I finally finished all of the crosses on the first cuff and they all turned out so great. The only thing I'm displeased with is that at some point the canvas must have shifted because some of hte crosses are just a little slanted. Probably not enough to notice on a first glance (I hope), but I'll always see it. Also, it's really hard to get the little red +'s at the corners of each diamond to be just the right size so they aren't too small to see the details or too big they overpower the design.
One day I'll have a real camera that isn't my phone and takes better quality pictures. I've removed the waist canvas and it looks great! Onward to cuff #2 and the collar!
