I spent the first day and a half of class finishing up my Phase I piece. I have some photos of the steps of that for later on but for now...These two shots show the piece after the final steaming. (these two were taken at odd angles to highlight the shine)
It's amazing how the silk just glows! The finishing takes time but is well worth it.
Here's my phase one piece done, stretched and laced onto padded foam core and ready for framing.
I got phase II framed up and then I woke up sick the next day. I came to class the last two days but didn't stitch much. I have some photos of my phase two piece and the prep work I did.
But for now, I'm going to bed for a while. I may not be back 'till next week.
