Alpha - boom

Aren't you tiring of my booming?  I don't have much to go and now that I see the full width, I don't believe the open book flat fold will work because of it.  Too short and wide but I will still try.  If not, one very large but short drum/pincushion.  Using the mylar will hold that shape, stuffing it without support would not work well at all in such a large piece.  Yep.  Big ass drum it may be!



I removed the very light basket and 1837 and plan to use the dark brown for both.  After removing the stitches, I can see the original green linen beneath.  Not sure you can see that in this photo but it's obvious in daylight.  Good to know that the quick dip (maybe even a longer bath) may not tint beneath the stitches.


Have a good weekend!!

Yeah, I'm good with the drum finish too....but still want a tutorial on it. ;-) Yup...I can sorta see that green there. Weird, eh? You would think it would have saturated from the backside. ~Robin~

I agree with Robin, drum and a tut on doing it with the mylar insert.
