Japanese Beauty - #1 FINISHED!

Post by Pengwenn »

After I finished my Cherished Teddy Japan project this is what I started. I'm doing the one on the top. I'll be doing both of these on 16ct Antique White aida (2x1, full) because the 14ct precut size didn't have a big enough excess fabric on the sides to make me comfortable framing it with mats. I've worked on it for 3 weeks so far and all I've got left to do on this page is the fill color for her kimono. And personally I think the browns outlining her lapels were much harder than the 2 colors for the circles on her dress.

Here's the booklet:

Here's my progress so far:
