And to remind you what I did in combining the inspiration of the Boundary Stele and Tutankhamen's chair, here is the Amarna Royal Family.
I am still really pleased with this one!

@mishafletch I did a whole sequence in lockdown that I called #SlowTVStitchery. I burbled about random topics while doing some rather intricate #OrNué embroidery. Here's the link for the first https://youtu.be/Dx0SWcITGqY
It went on for nearly eighty episodes, so if you enjoy it, it will keep you company for quite a while!

Ok, so I've added the ribbon border. It will now need some jiggling to ease it into place before I attach it to the velvet stele.
But, progress!

Trying to wrangle the "padding" thread, the working thread, the ribbons and the goldwork is quite a challenge!

I really hope that this way of mounting the #AmarnaRoyalFamily works. This whole stage has been a struggle for far too long!

I'm still trying to work out how to present the #AmarnaRoyalFamily successfully. My first idea didn't quite work, so I'm trying a new way to help the #embroidery settle into the mount. Three satin ribbons held together down one edge - so I have to sew them together first.
I hope this works!
