12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon – sneak peek.18 – working at Saint Michaels sleeve :)

…and again new progress concerning my “12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon” project. 😀

“End spurt”! Yes, I already reached the “end spurt” phase concerning the completion of Saint Michael. Just one hand, one sleeve and the cloak left and I already started working at Saint Michaels sleeve. 😀

…and here the picture of my new progress for you – enjoy! 😀

…I really like how the sleeve turned out. But I have to admit that I am facing one very special difficulty at the moment: What color for the band at the sleeve end?! *lol*

Well, I think I will take a short “sleeve time out” and continue with his cloak. Hopefully a good idea for the sleeve will appear on my mind soon… 😀

…and again a close up picture of my new Split Stitch progress for you:

End spurt! *happydance* I really love this special phase of my projects.
With every new project comes a new end spurt phase and it always feels like the first time – fun and exciting – because I will soon see the final result… 😀
