I spent yesterday cutting long strands of sparkly metal into little bits of sparkly metal and then sewing them back together.
The camera picks up some of the sparkles but only in a few places. This thing glitters!
Today I'm going to add more little bits of metal--this time in two colors, Woo-HOO!--all the way around. Then there are some unique motifs to add in metal thread--then finally a silk border. It is quite possible that I will have a finish in the near future if--Oh! SQUIRREL!!!
(I would really like to have a finish . . . I need to free up a 10" hoop before next Wednesday when I start another online class with Zina.)
And, on the computer front . . . can we say "User Error?" I suggested just turning the laptop off and waiting 24 hours, then restarting it. What do you know--it worked just fine.
Well done , such a pretty design . hugs June.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteAnn, your piece is beautiful....and very sparkly!!! That's my hubby's answer to most tech issues...turn off, rest and turn back on. I have to say, 9 times out of 10 it works!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It does sparkle! In my working years, our IT department always asked if we had rebooted the computer before they would even enter a work order. Generally it does work!
DeleteWhat a beautiful sparkle piece you are working on, Ann! Glad turning it off and letting it rest worked. Have a relaxing weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt has a lot more sparkle after today--I may have a finish sooner than I hoped!
