I'll put it on the webshots as soon as I've finished unravelling the strings
to make the petals and leaves. Did about half last night and went to bed
with a very painful shoulder - it's quite fiddly. Hope to get the rest done
today. The mounting went very smoothly running a double thread through every
fourth edge loop and through the holes in the frame.
I intend to make another one of the series, but I'll reduce the pricking a
fraction. Although the one I did is nice and taught inside the fram, it fits
right up to the frame on the inside. I think I'd like a small gap as shown
in the pictures of the finished ones in the book.
The frame is thicker than the ones in the book, but it looks fine. I
couldnlt fine anything ready-made that would suit. I'd need to be a lot
better at woodwork (or DH would need to be) to make the kind of frame in the
book, which slots together rather like those three-tiered small ornament
shelves that were popular in the 1960s. DH is fine with metal because, if he
makes a mistake, he can weld a bit back on, but he can't do that with wood!!
