Mother's Day gift for my Mum - Riolis Lilac Evening
Edited by oldwoman at 2016-5-9 09:46I knew Mum liked this design, so when I saw it on a half price special I snatched it up.
I did my usual fabric swap. I used a lovely light evenweave in 30ct cream instead of the 14ct aida that came with the kit.
With this project not only did I frame the work myself, but I also made the frame. So next some pics of my chaotic process.
I even managed to get the back to be very neat, a first for me. Usually I have it covered with duct tape. I discovered spray adhesive, it's my new favourite thing.
Detail of the gold strips I made.
Completed, with the glass in place. I'm so proud of it, to see it in person it is beautiful.
And the best part is that Mum loves it!
