Elegance of the Orient

I think that's the rest of the blue shading on the robe. Not that I'm not having fun with all that blue, but filling in some of the other shapes is really looking appealing at the moment. Looks like the next colour is one of the pinks though, so maybe I shouldn't have wished away the blue so soon!

Elegance of the Orient

I didn't want to post a picture just after having done the white, because I didn't think it would show up very well on the cloth, so I did the next yellow as well... but after taking the picture, it looks like the white would have been fairly visible anyway. Oh well!

The next colour's a cream, which is definitely less visible on the cream-coloured aida.

Elegance of the Orient

A little bit of shading goes a long way. That's three colours complete in this section, and she's already really coming along. I should have loads of reference stitches now so that I should have an easier time counting... that is, of course, assuming that I haven't made any mistakes so far.

Elegance of the Orient

Well, that's the two biggest colours on this next page done. I think it's cool how you can already see the shape of the picture in this section.

This one should work up a little faster than Provence Market since it's not a full coverage piece, but it's a still a Dimensions Gold, so I'm thinking at least another month of work on it?

Provence Market

It's done! And I totally forgot to take a picture before the backstitching went in on the top half :(

I ended up working the last sky colour in rows, and I don't know about you, but it looks super obvious to me.

I'm glad this one is finally done though: I'm really looking forward to putting in some work on Elegance.

Provence Market

This is actually another 20 rows filled in. Other than the big blue path in the sky, the rest of the paths were fairly small and didn't take too long to fill in.

32 file down, 1824 stitches. Only 7 more to go!

Provence Market

Not much more to go now! The trees are mostly filled in, at least the green parts. Still have a bit of trunk. I am... hopeful(?) that it will be done by next weekend, maybe even the backstitching!

11 files down, 2545 stitches. 39 files to go!
