Work in progress - couching down the outlines.

A quote about opera from the Terry Pratchett book Maskerade. The quote is not exact to what's in the book, as I only listen to the book on tape and got this quote online and couldn't check it against the original text.

This is my variation - with added beads and filling stitches in metallic silver thread - on a beautiful free design by WyrdByrd designer Jeanne Dansby. The pattern is "September Snowflake", part of her Blackwork Smalls series (scroll about halfway down on the page for the pattern). I stitched this after Christmas, and am now working on turning it into an ornament for the holidays next year!

This is the piece I sent to Meagan Ileana for the Phat Quarter swap. I wasn't sure what to do with the anatomy theme, so I surfed the web for inspiration. I found this at pornokrates in which a man refers to his package as a "ruthless organ." Couldn't ask for much more inspiration than that.

Modified from the Blackwork Sampler pattern in Alicia Paulson's book Embroidery Companion.

Blackwork-ish embroidery of Seattle's skyline from SAM's Olympic Sculpture Park. (central red section is a sculpture called Eagle by Calder).

 

You might be able to just about make out the clouds in the skyline - it shows up better in real life than on the photo.
