Framed and hung!!

Sorry for the glare on this one...that is the one problem with glass...



Well, BoInk is truly complete as of 8:30 this morning!! I was able to find a frame at AC Moore that was a perfect match for the cat corners and it was on SALE to boot!! So other than having to buy a gizmo to put the points in the back to hold the piece in, it only cost me $20 to frame this piece. I had taken it to AC Moore to have it "professionally" framed and even with the 50% off coupon I had it was going to cost well over $200 to frame this with NO MAT... I should see if they need framers at AC Moore or Michaels or JoAnn's ETC because I seem to be framing more and more of my own pieces and think I do a great job (if I do say so myself!! LOL)

I've also been working like crazy on Blackstone Fantasy Garden. I've finished the inner work of the center knot (pinky colored one) and now working on the outer knots (the ones in green/purples). I've still kept to my word of not working on the blackwork until I've completed the cross-stitching knots...





This first one shows the "pink" knot almost complete...



This one is showing the "pink" knot complete and one of the three "green/purple" knots complete...

Thanks for looking...

Pictures of BoInk

Here it is February 25th and I'm posting my pictures of BoInk. If you'd like to see more beautiful examples of this design by Tracy Horner go to www.inkcircles.com She has posted many beautiful versions including mine!!



I will post one more picture of this as soon as I have it framed. I've purchased a frame for it and now I just have to press it and mount it in the frame.



I replace the "20" in the pattern with my initials...

Thanks for watching my progress on this wonderful design...
