Once again I have come to the end of my rotation and couldn’t resist starting another piece. This is Stroke of Midnight by Teresa Wentzler. (I must be insane—I am now working on three Teresa Wentzler designs.)
There are so many different symbols for this chart that it takes forever just to find the correct color to use in the symbol list. Also the number of blended threads is daunting. The way that the colors in the stairs blend together to move from light to dark is truly amazing. It is this aspect of her work that make me like Teresa Wentzler designs so much.
This turned out to be a pretty good stopping point because I am not quite sure which way I should work. I could finish the pillar and urn and then start working on the plant. However, the green of the plant promises to be a challenge because there are little green leaves everywhere with most of the colors being blended threads. This work could turn out to be quite tedious. On the other hand, I could also work toward’s Cinderella’s dress, which would get me working on the main subject of the piece. It is a good thing that I have some time to decide which way I will go.
