New designs!
May 1st, 2007 by Lady Periphaeria It’s that time again and I am glad to present four new designs, three biscornus and one needleroll.
Something Blue…
Spring is time for love, romance, pastel colous and, of course, weddings! And after today spring is also time for ring biscornus.
This design is distantly related to Ring of Roses series so you can notice some rather familiar elements in it.
Originally it was designed just as a biscornu, but as it is a bit big (unless you stitch it on higher count fabric) and it reminded me of weddings I thought There are ring pillows, so why not a ring biscornu?. Hence this finishing.
(By the way, models used are my late engagement and wedding rings.)
Protection
Most of you know Xs and Os as hugs and kisses, but in Nordic symbolism XO motifs have been used in knitted sweaters to protect fishermen while at sea.
I have also seen these motifs in borders of Islamic prayer rugs, which leads to conclusion that this is a globally used symbol combination.
Our model is stitched over one.
Ia! Ia!
Ia! Ia! Cthulhu fhtagn!
Let those tentacles guide you: stitch this to your inner geek, geeky friend or the geek of your life.
This design is dedicated to H.P. Lovecraft.
Thistle Square Needleroll
An expansion to Periphaeria Designs’ finishing methods: needleroll.
Last, but not least
I have a new complimentary design up. It is designed for my my mother for Mother’s Day (it is 2nd Sunday of May in Lady’s part of the world) – but I am sure you will find also other uses for it, for example Valentine’s Day.
P.S. If you haven’t received your copy of newsletter check your trash folder, it may be there (Lady’s test message went to Gmail’s spam folder earlier today…)
Beautiful new designs! The ring biscornu is a fantastic idea (not that I need one, maybe one day…).
Woohoo! Look at those beauties! You always pick great color combinations for your models.
I’m not quite sure which one I like the best from this batch.
I’ve already downloaded and started the With Love … for my Mom. I’ll try and get a picture before I send it to her … All of the new designs are wonderful … I especially like the idea of a biscornu as a ring-pillow …. Great! Now I have to do something else
Keep up the great work! Love your eye for detail ….
These are all so gorgeous! You are one talented lady. I’m so excited to see your business going well, too.
These are lovely- I can see why you’ve been so bursting with excitement about the designs you’ve been working on.
Beautiful, all of them!
And I *love* the Cthulhu biscornu! That is just Too Cool For Words!
