Reticule
I finished the reticule tonight and took pictures of it, so I thought I may as well post them, as I won't be on tomorrow night.
To reiterate: the reticule's made of a scrap of cream shantung (which is why it's not any bigger!), lined in green linen. The embroidery's done in cotton floss, and is just stem-stitch and backstitch. And there's a gold bead in between each motif. Also, the embroidery's sloppy, because I haven't had much practice and don't really care to have a whole lot more. Embroidery's alright, but there are so many more fun bits of costuming...still, this wasn't as painful as I thought it would be!
I sort of originally wanted to do the whole bag, but after tracing out half the design, decided I'd had about enough of that! Which is good because I'd have run out of time to do it.
Embroidery and beads finished (and cat):
Bag sewn together - and that's crappy poly satin ribbon, but oh well. The Stash's a bit low on nice ribbon!
