WIP Continues: Need assistance

WIP Continues: Need assistance
Originally uploaded by lamdesigns

Okay the actual pocket watches are pretty much stitched, a few loose ends to sew in and the hands on the left hand clock are to be stitched, well in theory.

I'm working on the following thoughts, and I really can't decide what to do. The likely hood is this is one off, 99% of my work tends to be.

+ Left hand clock, I place actual clock fixture there. Perhaps making the hands slightly off centre in the frame. Make sense?

+ Working clock fixture dead in the middle between the two watches.

+ Leave as is, bar the finishing off and keep it as a picture.

What do you folks think?

WIP: I'm Late

I'm late, I'm late, I'm late

I'm late in actually sitting down and stitching anything, not done anything since last week, and finally today I sat down and started something and I'm not entirely sure where I'm going with it. Will it be a clock or will it just be a bit of artwork, not sure. Will see how it turns out after the second pocket watch is stitched as to whether or not I think it will work in a frame. I do however have another design to do involving a watch again, so I'm sort of treating this one as a bit of a practice run.

Thoughts or comments welcomed

Busy, busy day!

With another one set for tomorrow. Finally got a call about my MRI for my knee, and it's tomorrow afternoon, second appointment I have to attend tomorrow after work, so I might treat myself to a McD's on the way home. Sssh I know it's bad, but it tastes so good and like the last one I had was months ago. Notice how I try and justify this. Anyway, moving swiftly on as I have something far more interesting to show:

Little Home Wall Clock

$45.00 

(not including p&p)

Squee another new clock!

Can't stop making them, and this one is only slightly like what I originally planned, and I have to say I prefer it. Never considered stitching the hill in chain stitch I was going to do it in satin, but I like the texture, and the way I kept the angle of stitches in one direction. Also love the little apple/french knot on the ground. I have another little house style design in the works, and now that I've done this one I sort of know what to do for that now. Though I do want to make a few tissue holders, not done any for a long time, and I do have some lovely fabrics knocking about waiting to be put into good use.

Hope your having a productive day?
