Finally Framed the Fan!

Today I picked up Japanese Fan on Black from the framer and think it turned out good. I was apprehensive about not using any matting but now that it’s finished I like the simplicity and size of the finished piece. Stitching time was approximately 82 hours which didn’t seem possible, but when I totaled it up that’s what I documented. Time flies when you’re having fun. I will admit that I may have forgotten to enter the stitching time on one or two occasions so this is approximate. Counting the all the materials used, $30ish plus the framing $72 this whole project cost just over $100. Cannot complain about that. My final word about this Jinice Beacon project is that I think she is a brilliant designer, not because I tend to favor her designs, but primarily because I believe she has beautifully mastered bringing together stitch application, color and design into a cohesive and enjoyable project to stitch.

Thanks much for visiting today, I haven't been online much recently; I haven't been doing much stitching either (Camille Monet will find herself turning into a grandmother if I don't get her to the framers). But I did get the CanvasWorks rooster to the framer and should have it in the next week. I love getting things finished. Talk later.
