Grecian Urn

Post by Fljotsdale »

Jut a smallish project. Destined to be a christmas pressie:

This is as far as I've go so far. When finished, I can go back to my Storyteller which is sitting under a cloth against the wall by my stitching chair, reproaching me... (Oh! And my Assisi panel, of course... :shifty:

Thanks everyone. :D I quite like the 'aged' look of the thing.
