Angel of Hope

Angel of ...Hope?



Or DEATH?!  Bwah ha ha ha haa...

Lol!

Here's Angel of Hope - wow, she needs a nickname, like Gracie's :D - after her first rotation turn.  I didn't get very far but I did get her face done.



I'm not sure about that stitch on the bridge of her nose - it is a half stitch on the chart, but the dark fabric shows through.  I think that when I get her back out, I will make it a 3/4 stitch, instead.  Then her nose won't look so odd.  I may also backstitch her lips in a darker color.  I'm not sure about that, though.  My next goal will be to finish her hair and start a wing.

She is supposed to offset Gracie - they are the same size and they'll sort of face each other.  So I did her skin over two, like Gracie's.  The different fabric doesn't bother my Mum, and she has a different frame saved back, but she wants to hang them on either side of a dresser, with their faces toward each other, so I thought the skin should be the same.

I'm tempted to get Archangel out now, though - it's Mirabilia March!  We'll see what happens!

Happy Stitching,

Tama
