next

this one will take a long time. I am thinking of embroidering a heraldic linen pocket using silk threads, spilt stitch and chain stitch. ight add blackwork fills in the diamonds as well

Final IRCC 2 post

And the IRCC is finished, results have been posted! I took second place with 855 points, not to shabby! And won best handwork- Which I am really proud of! I learned a lot this go round I tried many new things, including wire work, metal thread embroidery and weaving.

In all likely hood I will not be entering again. It has been fun, I love the deadline. If I ever think of doing this again I will not be doing it to win, and in that case I might as well only do the home game and use the deadline.

reward

it's the little things, I decided to reward myself with a haircut, next week I am getting my nails done and a waxing! Cut 8 inches off!
