IN UNKNOWN REALMS CHAPTER 3

Here is the completed piece I embroidered to cover the ugly logo on my fleece jacket.  It needs a bit more tweaking and then I can take it off the frame, trim it, and sew it into place.

Until I do that, I won't really know if my idea has worked, so my fingers are crossed.  Although I'm experienced at hand sewing, I'm often too impatient to do the best possible job, and this time I hope to go slowly and carefully and get it done right.  I'll post a photo of it on the jacket once that's done by adding it at the end of this post.

With thanks to Hanny Waldburger, CZT, for her tangle Pearl in Balance, which enabled me to design this.  The final size is 4.75" x 2.25" (more info on the tangle in my first post on this topic) and until I started working on it I wasn't sure if I could get the detail using punch needle embroidery, but it worked well.

In the spirit of the title of this series, "Traveling in Unknown Realms," I took the photo above and used it as the basis for two of my favorite iPhone apps.  First is a photo from the Kaleidoscope App, a nice closeup of a rotated section:

I like the view of the individual loops in that photo, even though the design has been manipulated.

Finally I ran the original photo through the Waterlogue app:

Unknown Realms, indeed.
