Stitching on Icon image finished



I have finished stitching the icon image. She is 1bout 70 cm long ( 27 inches) and about 20 cm wide ( 8 inches) Her garment is very heavily stitched with various threads. The unstitched image is of an icon I transferred onto Evolon- it will also be stitched. As the Evolon is not transparent the background fabric will not have much of a role to play. I am still debating whether to cut away the lutradur inside the red squares- I like that the colouring has become quite deep and rich and am wondering if I cut away whether that won't brighten the effect too much...

Have to go pack my bags for Brisbane on the morrow- I have to get up very early to get to the aiport on time.
