I showed an image of Khan Assad al Pasha last November. At that stage I was just ecxperimenting with Inkaid- but I have decided to use this image and some others for my exhibition- they will be like introductory glimpses to Damascus. The problem then became how to quilt the surround and today it finally struck me I should use cross stitch- as cross stitch is used to decorate traditional dresses from Northern Syria. I like the juxtaposition of some really basic simple and old style of stitching with something computer generated.It is stiflingly hot today so not a great day for any stitching, so I was quite pleased to get as much done as I did.

brilliant choice, i like the way it is see through and the elements combine nicely.
That's a brilliant and inspired juxtaposition: working well!
That is wonderful Dijanne and the post above too. I studied Palestinian dresses for city and guilds and I think they are very similar? The cross stich will work very well.
