Re: Serinde's Blackstone Fantasy Garden
I would love to see it when it's framed Serinde, so if you can't find this thread, just make a new one. It sounds so fabulous I think it will probably deserve it's own 'brand shiney new' thread anyhow.

Re: Serinde's Blackstone Fantasy Garden
Well, I did have to go digging for this thread, but here it is, framed.
My framer convinced me that oak would be too dark, and so I went with the light frame. I put it into the local show and it was awarded a First and also Best in Section, so I'm very chuffed. (Even got a rosette!!! ) There are a couple of other new pieces in the gallery, btw.

Re: Serinde's Blackstone Fantasy Garden
Amazing, and the white frame is really outstanding (your framer has good taste!)

Re: Serinde's Blackstone Fantasy Garden
The mount is perfect and I'm not surprised it got awarded first prize -- congratulations ! The frame is very interesting, I'd probably have gone with something in wood -- not sure it would have been to dark, but this sets it off wonderfully as well.
Oh, love the blingy biscornus

Re: Serinde's Blackstone Fantasy Garden
Congratulations!
I love the frame and the mount, the shape of the mount is perfect with those little triangular cuttings in the middle...
I am taking up mine, too, for the UFO club this week. Can't wait to see some more progress on it.

Re: Serinde's Blackstone Fantasy Garden
Golly! Remember this thread from the past? So many good forum-friends who haven't been around for a bit.
Anyway! I'm resurrecting it only to boast. Our local Embroiderers' Guild branch staged a retrospective exhibition this year (to go along with the 40th anniversary one in May/June). Well, much to my total amazement, this piece came joint 2nd place, nominated by the people who had visited the exhibition. I was astonished, given the absolutely gorgeous pieces of art that were on show. So I now have a little silver salver to polish until this time next year.
