My days are filled with Chartres and the images of the women in the royal portal, they look so different from different angles. And then I discovered there is a female figure on the south entrance, who I have only managed to partially photograph and do you think I can find an image of her anywhere? They are all from a distance so I can't see enough detail.
My little embroideries are growing in number and I am enjoying working on them in the evenings. I have to really get machine stitching like the blazers as well, as it is not long until we move out of this house.
Here is a lutradur image taking shape.These are elongated figures like the originals on the door jambs, so the painted image is only a portion of the whole.
A lot more stitching to do!
And the latest embroidery I have finished. I have not quite worked out how I will mount them, hopefully that will come in a dream.
I will put the names into a hat later this week and will let the winner know, and then I shall send you something!
Still time to join the Traveller's Blanket on-line class starting January 10 2014. Just leave me a message or email me if you are interested in joining. Cost is $60AUS This will be the last Travellers' Blanket that I do for awhile. The embroideries seem to be turning into their own blanket as I look at the collaged image.

Your ladies are looking beautiful. What a lot of work you are doing. Love it and can't wait to see it finished.
I have literally hundreds of photos of Chartres and the cathedral - would you like a dvd with them all on? I'm quite happy to send it to you. There might be a close up of the one you want - I've run out a number of camera batteries taking photos of the sculptures around the building!
HI Chris Many thanks for your offer. Someone I know in Chartres is going to photograph the statue for me! I also have many many photos of Chartres and I just have a snippet of that particular statue- I think it's because its the door everyone enters by so you don't look up.
I love them all grouped together, and at different angles. The colours look amazing.
