Gorjuss - New Heights (Pt.2)

Update was not so soon...

I have been busy running between Newcastle and Sydney for work..

It has also taken me a little while of procrastination to finish, and get this up.

Back stitch is the bane of my being. Part of the reason it got put aside ...


Anyways, here we are from back stitch to finish


Back stitch completed on the books to the left.

All back stitch completed; washed and ironed as well on right.

There were a couple of other WIP's but they are a bit crumpled/not worth it.



Both of these pictures are the work aster framed. I went with a triple matting because it looked the best. It also was the best I could do to match the cotton candy pink they have painted the room.

The project is meant to be something that will be kept as long as possible so colours had to be picked with care to be something that will stay neutral  as she grows up.

Sorry for the reflections in the last two photos. It is a combo of glass and not wanting to take the protective plastic off till I get it to them.

It is done. That is the main thing!

Gorjuss - New Heights

This project is a present for my new goddaughter.

Here is a catch up of WIP's that have been done to date.




Dress is primarily done on a train trip to and from Sydney.



Primary parts of dress and nearly all her skin done. Hair started.


 Hair finished, started work on silver then onto book tower. Once done book tower and ground did the 'wallpaper' in the background which is a little hard to see in last picture.

An update with the back stitch started will be posted soon.

Was meant to have it completed and framed by the 10th Feb. for the Baptism, but I was unable to complete in time.
