Oh my word cathe!!!! That is most definitely the "real" thing! You did an amazing job. Truly. I think your lines are very smooth and blend into one another just right! I LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!! If I sound excited for you, I AM. And very proud. I think you've got the idea just fine and will only go on to make it even more personal as you continue to use the technique. Thank you so much for sharing that with all of us.
That was really a tiny little space to put all that thread huh? I would never have attempted something that small to start. You are brave, and very talented! :D :D
By flat, do you mean it's draping ok? Mine was pretty flat too, and it still draped nicely considering the thread density! I'm so happy for you.
