Since they looked upright to you, I slanted my second attempt slightly to make them look even more curved. Optical illusions made this view straighter perhaps, or maybe I should have done many more shorter stem stitches and built in a more pronounced curve.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the hint!<BR/><BR/>Jane, waving from CH to CHThe Chilly Hollow Needlepoint Adventurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10226040212425559526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686273156594002956.post-10242624810358497542008-08-21T04:44:00.000-04:002008-08-21T04:44:00.000-04:00Hi, Jane--This is another beautiful project, and y...Hi, Jane--<BR/><BR/>This is another beautiful project, and your creativity really enhances the piece! One idea: when you put the grid lines back over the earth, would there be a way you could "bend" the longitude lines so they make crescent segments that meet at the poles? Latitude lines are horizontal parallels, but curving the verticals might suggest a globe shape and make it read more easily as the earth.<BR/><BR/>My 2ยข,<BR/><BR/>~Belle in the other CH = Chino HillsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686273156594002956.post-29291338740599412262008-08-20T19:42:00.000-04:002008-08-20T19:42:00.000-04:00It is very shiny in person now that I've finished ...It is very shiny in person now that I've finished three steps and started the fourth. I will probably finish with star shapes on top but that's not certain yet. I'm just thinking that might look nice....<BR/><BR/>Jane, making it up as she goes along in CHThe Chilly Hollow Needlepoint Adventurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10226040212425559526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686273156594002956.post-63369767287832487472008-08-20T08:54:00.000-04:002008-08-20T08:54:00.000-04:00I can see where it is, but I am sure it is more sh...I can see where it is, but I am sure it is more shiny in person.
