From Sally — It’s a Wrap Update

Filed under: Updates — surly @ 3:51 pm

I finally finished my Mary Tudor wrap. I don’t have great photos; my model is rather static. But I hope these give you the idea. The finished piece is about 73 inches long and 22 inches wide. I considered adding fringe, but I’m not convinced the wrap needs it. I’ll wear it and see what I think. I thought it would be too warm to wear this by the time I finished it, but sadly Spring has been willing to wait.

  4. Beautiful. I was curious how you were going to do the edging and it looks great (of course). What an elegant and memorable wrap. Thanks for sharing your idea and adventure with us.

  6. This makes me think of a gorgeous and lush hand woven carpet. The kind you’re a little afraid to walk on, but your eye just keeps returning to it. Well done.

  7. This is so beautiful! Don’t fringe it, I don’t think it needs it (I also don’t like fringe at all).

  8. I agree with the no fringe pov. Fringe just gets tangled and nasty which would take away from the beauty of the wrap. Would you please show tha backside of the wrap also. It is so lovely.

  9. I echo everyone else: lovely; lush carpet; no fringe; work of art on a work of art; a masterpiece!

  11. Oh WOW. I love the way the blue pops up close but from a distance – almost looks reflective. Beautiful awesome work. Your model isn’t too shabby either, just aged.

  12. Beautifully done – I love the edging! Don’t add fringe – really! It’s elegant as is, fringe can only detract.

    BTW – good to know who I can blame for this continued blast of winter!
