Hogwarts In A Bottle - 30 hours

Hello all!

After Green Halloween Banner there was absolutely no doubt that Hogwarts would be next on the frame.

Here's where I picked it up:


And now:


And the full piece:



That seems like an awful lot of progress, but the cork in the middle is big blocks of colours so made for quick stitching.

It was touch-and-go as to whether I would reach the castle turret during this stint; I didn't but only by a couple of rows. However, if you look closely towards the bottom right, you might just be able to make out a few yellow stitches. This is the first, albeit tiny, appearance of the scene within. The bottle neck is about to open out so I'll definitely be stitching the scene next time round. Well, I say next time round when I actually mean this time round as I'm staying with this project for another ten hours. That will probably see me through to the end of the month so fingers crossed for another update then.

Take care,
Rachel x

Exciting! All the cork and bottle top! I'm so glad you are staying with this project for another 10 hours :D

Great progress! And since Hogwarts hasn't made an appearance yet, you're pretty much required to give it another round.

Fabulous progress! The glass effect is very realistic.
