Very nice!

For my next trick, 15 MILES of back stitch!

It must be your embroidery. She's purple.

Looking very nice!

It's delightful!

I *love* Art-Deco.
I _*CANNOT*_ convince my mum that what she think is Art Deco is actually Art-Nouveau and/or earlier stuff. But that's my problem...

Pretty! I've been meaning to learn to cross-stitch. I have a "fuck cancer" kit that I want to do.

Wow!

I always get mixed up which is which. However, in this case the magazine says it's Art Deco! So I'm sorted.

It's not hard. If you get stuck, feel free to ask.

Right there with you on Egyptian Sampler. And I even bs-d as I went. But that bottom half has a lot of bs. sigh. On the other hand, it's easy to bs and watch something on TV that's moderately involving...

Oh, if you can draw it with a ruler and a compass it's Deco.
e.g.

If it were Nouveau, the window arch and the cabinet she's sitting on would have a lot more fussy lines like this:

And the girl herself may be slightly more deshabille e.g.

Which is rather pardoxical really given that a well-to-do young woman of the 1920s was considered properly dressed while wearing rather less fabric than her predecessor of 1895.
