Yes, the Rabbit Geisha is done! I finished couching the squiggles that decorate her over tunic last night. They are some of the pretty navy Snow couched down with one ply of the navy Splendor silk I've been using on this project.
My scanner bed isn't large enough to take a good close up of everything at once. Sorry. If the sun comes out this week I'll take a photograph of the whole thing with my digital camera for you, but I thought close ups of half of the Rabbit Geisha were better than nothing. So here are the two halves, with overlap but at least you can see how she turned out.
She will stay on her stretcher bars for 2-3 months as I need to wait until the finisher's Christmas rush is over before she travels to be made into a tote bag applique. I hope to have something fabulous to show you in early 2010.

Thank you, Sue. I'm still trying to get a good photo outside with my camera so I have a photo of the entire piece, not half.
The Geisha is fabulous, very, very nice job. Can't wait to see it finished!
I'll send the Rabbit Geisha off in January to the finisher, who currently is about to collapse from Xmas finishing. Once she recovers, then Rabbit Geisha will become a tote bag, suitable for the most fabulous stitchers in the world.
Jane - It's gorgeous! You did a fantastic job!
