Mirabilia: Maidens of the Seasons (complete)

Photos, as promised. Although while looking at them, I noticed a missing stitch in Winter, so I guess I'm not quite finished after all. This has been on the go for a bit over two years (I really started it in Raglan when I was there for Grandad's funeral), with six months or so off for study and doing [livejournal.com profile] thesane's wedding present.




The Four Seasons


Autumn


Winter


Spring


Summer

And a couple of detail shots - I love the delicacy of colouring in Spring's face, and the hemline of Summer's dress. Winter and Summer are my favourites to look at, although I am increasingly fond of Spring and love the vivid contrast of Autumn on the blue linen.

Fuck yeah! I've seen most of it in stages, but so cool to see the whole thing done.

...you'll be finishing off that little dragon project next, right? ;)

Thanks! It's nice to have it done and packed away.

Finishing might be a bit strong, but I'm starting to make progress again.

Fabulous achievement and beautiful work! I am in awe of your skill, patience and persistence :)

Thanks! It turned out pretty well, I think. Still claim it doesn't take patience though.

Thank you - it did turn out pretty well. Skill, yes; persistence, maybe; patience not so much. It was fun.
