I charted this myself from an antique piece dating from the second quarter of the 18th century, you can see the original here. I am stitching it on 70 count silk gauze with Pipers silk.
Have a great week everyone

Beautiful colours! Must be such a challenge on 70 count!
Sorry about not winning the tiles...
This is going to be another triumph! Your interpretation of the original is an art unto itself and then there is your superb needlework...70 count?!? That's just crazy-talk!
WOW, 70-count? I never even knew there was such a thing! I love the colors too, it looks fantastic. Can't wait to see the finished product!
Lovely, magic work as usual Elga - please tell me you use a magnifier!
Awesome work, Elga and really beautiful colors. On 70 count, oh dear....what a challenge and a lot of work for so many hours!

It is going to be (is) gorgeous! I love the colors you are using.
You're killing me you know :-) I want to come and play!
Wonderful Elga...! How DO you do it.....
Oh this is going to be beautiful, I just love the original...it's so elegant.
I really look forward to seeing the end result.

When I read '70 count' my mind goes: now THATS miniature!
I know I don't do justice to your work but I honestly just can't wrap my mind around it just how small this work all is.
I have a good magnifier, but even using that I could hardly see the holes in the fabric.
I have decided it must be magic what you do :D.
Hug,
Gee
Oh wow it's coming out gorgeous!
Hello Elga,
You amaze me! I cannot wait to see it finished.
Big hug,
Giac
Thank you everyone :-) I sure appreciate all the lovely encouraging comments that you all leave.
Chas, yes I do use magnifiers, plus I am nearsighted which helps a lot.
Catherine, you are always welcome to come and play, so sorry there is this huge body of sea between us.
To all of you who marvel about the 70 count, I am quite used to it by now and see it easily, the 90 count is the one that gives me headaches, yes Mindy there are even still smaller counts up to 112, but that one I have given up on, I just can not see it :-)
Beautiful and so fine!
