Autumn Cape 2017 A Long Term Project Daytime Side Panel Embellishments

Since we are two thirds through February I thought I better change 2016 to 2017. I am currently in the process of designing the next Front Piece - the night time scene. However in the meantime I thought I would do a quick blog on embellishments. I know I have mentioned this previously so won't go into lots of details.

It is quite a while since I posted about the sides but I am going to hark back to that part of the project.

Daytime Side Panel Minor Embellishments

For some reason I have been unable to find a photograph of the entire side panel. Therefore I have had to take a picture after I had done some minor embellishments. The lower side panel had been more or less a rectangular block of light green. If you look at the left edge of the right hand picture you can just see a straight line where the two pieces have been sewn together.

As you can see on the left hand picture I had started to soften the rectangular outline with foliage on the Side Panel and on to the Front.

The above photograph shows elongate the 

branches across the Side Panel and on to the Front. 

Pinning Position

I put a few pins in to mark roughly where I wanted to add the next part of the sewn embellishments. Due to the fact that I have been having to estimate areas of the design occasionally I do make quite large mistakes. I could have claimed to have done it on deliberately but I feel that would be defeating the purpose of my blog. Therefore I have to hold my hand up to this one and say I definitely dropped a clanger.

Side Panel Post Embellishment

With such a large area to cover up I decided I needed a bit of magical help so as well as a hanging leaf I have added a Fairy Ring. More embellishments will be added as and when I have a moment.
