May we see a copy of the full design?"
Certainly! The design is a repeat pattern, though I seperated it to space the pattern out a bit. Because it is pyramidal, I am using the pattern to form the triangle tops of the nightcap, which will then be sewn together. When I said vines, I actually meant stems *blushes* The leaves each have a stem, that resembles a scrolling vine, somewhat.
This pattern was found on Mary Corbet's website.
Here is a close-up of today's progress. I have begun the speckling, first time trying it. I am pretty good at shading when drawing and painting, and this carries over into the speckling, I'm finding.
I am still working on it, a bit, for better shading, but its not nearly as difficult as I would have expected.
Yes, it's often the case that skills from another pastime will transfer quite well to embroidery. It's looking good!
