The Plastic Canvas Adventure chapter is now closed...

Until I get another urge, that is.  Here's the second box, in Bucilla cream tapestry yarn, which is probably going to be a present. I like very much how it looks a bit transparent.  The thing I don't like about needlepoint is how totally opaque it often looks, not my taste at all.  But stitching on transparent canvas in cream colored yarn, I liked that. This was stitching to watch DVDs by.







However, my rings for the Dorset buttons are on the way -- the first lot arrived, will work, but are small, and I have larger ones on the way.  Now I have great ideas about inserting a small ring inside a larger ring, but meanwhile I would like to get my other stitchings done.  

I already have ideas about how to create the Dorset buttons using my own pattern, or rather my own freeform path! I'm thinking planets and moons revolving or something.
