coming along

Things are continuing well, I think. Here's a little more of my progress as things go up a little higher on the vine. There's starting to appear to be more depth to the piece, and I plan on NOT tinting the background later if it can be at all avoided. I really want the background to be done completely with thread.

I have to be careful, though - I find myself clenching my teeth! Deep breath, Lisa, things are going fine. I keep checking the back to see that my tension (thread, that is) hasn't gone wrong while I was stitching.

Well, onward and upward!
