Rabbit Geisha on Background (with Tassels)




I'm happy to announce that I've finished the background!  All those split pavilions are done.  Now I can turn to the fun details to finish this Brenda Stofft canvas.

I've started the blue tassels.  You'll remember that they were painted to be dark green but I've switched to the navy I used on the sleeves and shawl collar.  I rummaged around my stash yesterday and picked out more shades of pink and green for the two ribbons, have selected some bead colors that might work, and I have a pretty good idea about what I will do for the fan the geisha holds.  So even though I feel as though I've not made much progress, I have.

    Here's the link to the Nancy's Needle Christmas tree quilt pattern, just in case someone finds this and wonders about the Canvas of the Day. I don't save them unless folks mention a design.

    Here it is. Copy/paste this in a new link.
