#2 in my ongoing series combining hardanger / blackwork / embroidery.
I can't decide which one I prefer, this one or the previous garden gate... the next few coming up are going to be a castle tower window or a dungeon grate, I haven't quite decided....

Each of the bigger stars is filled with different blackwork design. It took me 2,5 weeks to plan and design, two + two evenings to make. It is still tiny with the added star border, but now it looks more balanced than before.
The color is dark green DMC 319
Here is our advent calendar! Think I will be done by the Dec. 1st? Hope so, wish me luck! (I was about 35 hours in at this point, spanning 2 months of stitching when the kids were asleep. Phew!)
I've never seen the two techniques combined before, and it seemed like a good thing to try....and finally, now the uni year's over, I can get back to sewing just for the fun of it!
Each of the squares have a 'darker square in the middle'. It's a cross between wrought-iron gates and black lace....oh, so Gothic! :D
Here is my piece for Ponyinarope for the PQ Music Swap. A bit of, (ahem...) suggestive blackwork embroidery, and some lyrics from the Radiohead song "Nude".
