It's finished. Embroidery is done, done, done!

Click on the image and you'll get the original res one to critique all of my sewing errors and point out all the places where the fastening of the thread could have been done a bit more neatly :)

I'm quite happy with it. Now to figure out exactly how to finish the collar off and mount it.

Wow! That is lovely. Embroidery is The Thing I Cannot Do!

I'm sure given enough time and incentive even -you- could do embroidery. Anyway, blackwork is simple, not like you have to take even spaced stitches or make sure they all become the same length - counted stitches are good that way - you can't really foul up that badly.

Also, thank you :)

Wow, that is gorgeous!

Thanks :) Hopefully the shirt it will go onto will be up to it :)

That is really nice work-- I did two shirts in the Jane Seymour pattern a, well, a long time ago, and haven't touched any blackwork since.

Though I have some lovely, lustrous red silk thread...

Thank you. I just checked out your LJ post with those pictures and your embroidery looks great!

Redwork, huh, well, I liked having this collar to change out to when I got tired of pinning, or cutting out, or sewing. :)

Hee! Spreading the disea.. I mean, enthusiasm!

If you think this is nice, just wait til the sleeves helwig have been working on will be finished. May be a long ways yet, but they are fabulous!
