c2001 Teresa Wentzler/Leisure Arts
Stitched on 28ct Forget-Me-Not Blue Joblean
Stitched with DMC cotton, Kreinik braid & blending filament, Mill Hill Beads
The Chinese characters are : top left - happiness, top right - longevity, bottom left - virtue, bottom right - wisdom
Here's a closeup that shows a bunch of details, like the scales, the netting and beads, and couching.
I started this originally back in probably 2001 as a New Year's project, then I ignored it for a very long time! This year I decided it was time to actually get moving with this project. I started seriously working on it back in March of this year. So in the space of 5 months I've finished up this piece and I'm soooo happy with it!I'm heading off to Quebec City tomorrow, but I will have Internet access so I hope to catch you up on the happenings and pictures from my first week of holidays.
