Hydrangea leaves and stems

The hydrangea piece is almost done - only thing left are the edges, the top and the bottom. In other words, the scroll portions. I will have to think about that and research some more.


The art doll mean while is not doing good. I need to improve on the face sculpture. This is about my fifth attempt.

My ultimate goal -(dream on) - is this:

Falling Stars Done

The stitching is done!

I used half-hitched .8 gold metallic and satin stitched for the glow spots.


I have the material for a soft scroll, and this site Japanese scrolls gave me ideas on how to assemble it as a scroll. The wikipedia site Kakemono showed me something I didn't know before - that the top section (Ten)  should be longer than the bottom section (Chi). From the picture it looks that the Chi is 2/3 the length of the Ten. I wonder how precise the proportion needs to be. Hmmm, more googling needed.
