More Framing, Pt 1

I thought I'd share some more framing (not all, I think I forgot to take pictures of Ferret Knot and Celtic Christmas, though I'll get there, too), because I have a lot of pictures, I'll break it up into a couple of posts...

First up is Tapestry by Ink Circles.   Nick actually framed it using two frames - the inner is like a mat, which is pretty cool!





Next up is Immaculate Heart by Ink Circles, which is probably one of my very favorite pieces of all time.   Because it feels so medieval to me, I wanted a really heavy frame, which is what I got!  It has that hand-scraped, irregular feel to it, which is absolutely perfect.

This first pic is a little washed out - it was hard taking pictures because it was pretty late/dark.




Next is a Commemorative Needleroll by Chatelaine Designs.
Martina came to visit Houston in 2005, and it was really interesting meeting her at Jo's (formerly of Dinky Dyes) house.   I finished this in 2005, but I redid the initials in 2014.   Right now it's my only finished Chatelaine, but I love it.

    1. Thanks! I have to admit, I am so pleased I had to put it in one of the most prominent places in the house :)

  4. Tapestry is looking absolutely gorgeous, that frame is just perfect. The small ones a really pretty as well though - I don't think I've seen needleroll design frames so far!

    1. Thank you very much! I liked Annette's frame job so much I couldn't help myself :)
      I couldn't bring myself to turn my needle-roll into an actual needle-roll because I liked the entire thing too much :)
