First Finish of 2013

Took me long enough!  : )  I actually have six new pieces started.  I'm feeling extremely accomplished about that!  My first two priorities are commissions that were requested during the December show.  This one is heading off to New Zealand!  Awesome.  It's Cranberry Flats 2.  I added some super-fine French Knots and even managed to sign it with silver thread.

Cranberry Flats mini # 2 (actual size)

Since we didn't discuss frame color, I have these options for her.  *p.s.  It's not for you to decide. : )  It all depends on what she likes, the color of her walls, and her current decor.


White
or 
Black


Sweet!  This is my third piece going off to the other side of the earth.  That is so incredible to wrap my head around.  Off to finish more handstitching.  See you soon!

Your work is awesome, awesome, awesome as always but I got a big chuckle out of, "ps: it's not for you to decide" :)
