This is splendid! Such texture and perspective involved.

Mill tweaked, and more sky with transitions in stitch type and blends of colour:

Its looking wonderful

Such a lot of creative work, and the result is fabulous.

My next class is on the 15th, and I haven't quite got to where I wanted to be, but progress is progress!

Break out the bubbly - as I said at the S&G, my Canvaswork is finally finished! (Apart from one stitch, about which more in FoF.)

Beautiful, and exciting texturally as well. It's been wonderful to see it through all the iterations.

Some might say it's just an excuse for extra bubbly, but my "Finished!" turned out to be a teeny bit premature. However, three filled-in stitches and one unpicked-and-restitched one later, it now is absolutely, definitely done . Mr Mabel has orders to forcibly restrain me should I try to change anything else!

This is such a beautiful piece!
Congratulations on the big finish!
I really love the sky with all the shades of blue and all the different stitches are amazing!

It’s absolutely stunning!

Wow. So much wonderful texture. I love it

(Did I mention I am rather fond of Wind/watermills )

And the final final stage - mounting, and sending it off to Hampton Court Palace for assessment!
(more about mounting canvas on FoF)

Here is the finished, mounted project with the source image:

As I mentioned (squealed...) at the Stash & Grab last Saturday, I got my assessment back. If you'd like to see what sort of thing the RSN assessors pick up on, this FoF has all the details!

One, or rather two, of the things they particularly liked were the trees. One they weren't so impressed with was the mounting. Oh well.
