Silver Bells Stitch guide

The Silver Bells  8343 by Leigh Designs stitch guide is ready!  She is pictured finished as a standup in case you missed the photos from TNNA.

And the bells!

All of the bells are stitched in place!  The bells are from The Collection and they are the perfect sizes for
this piece.  I will get the stitch guide finished and she is on the way to Washington!

Braided hair

I used a blue black rayon to stitch and braid her hair which I haven't done in a long time!  Braid hair that is!

The finished base

All the silver bells are done!  On to the hair next!

Beads and base

I have beaded the front of the gown and started the base.  I designed a darning pattern for this and it will show up better when I get more done!

Fabulous Fur!

Even if I do say so myself!  LOL, it is all stitched, brushed and trimmed.

More trim

I am working the fur on the left side and am about half way done! 

On the left

The left side is stitched, cut and shaped a little bit.  I have covered her braid for now too.

Fur

Lots of progress.  I am cutting and brushing a bit, but only doing a little shaping at this point.

Turkey work

The cape cries out for fuzzy fur so I am doing turkey work.  I am fairly slow at this, but making progress.

Red Velvet

Every maiden deserves a red velvet cape!

Starting the Robe

I am working on the gorgeous robe and have finished the left sleeve, and am almost done with the right one!

Snowflake Dress

 I finished the dress a bit differently than what was painted, but I like the shiny snowflakes!

Starting the gown

 I am working on the gown.....dark blue and the light blue snowflakes!

At the right

More background today, almost done with the right side!

Face and Hands

She is coming to life as I stitched her face and hands!

Beads!

I added beads to the headdress!

Headdress

The background for the headdress is stitched and I worked more down the left side of the background!

Mixing it up

I did some more on the background but I have also started working on the Headdress!

More than half!

Backgrounds just take a lot of time, but I am getting there!  Calling this more than half way done.
