Queen's Favors, Caoilfhionn II

There is nothing fancy about these favors...I was think of doing some white work detail on them, but Christmas has stolen my time. And besides, Caoilfhionn was in desperate need of favors.
They are both worked in simple split stitch.

Queen's Favors, Thyra II

Apparently I still hadn't learned about pictures the first time Thyra sat the throne either. Oh well.
I had some fun with the favors this time around and tried out some different techniques.

The satin stitch on the left one leaves something to be desired, but I'm pretty pleased with the hedgehogs. And for the right one I found some very nice Japanese metallic thread that doesn't separate. It's hard to tell there is shininess there, but that was fun to play with.

Queen's Favors, Avelina II

The first time I created Queen's Favors was for Avelina I, which was before I realized I should take pictures of everything.
By the time Avelina returned to the throne I was an old hand.

I am still pretty happy with how that satin stitch came out.

Queen's Favors, Caoilfhionn I

Unfortunately I was rushing to get these passed off to someone else who was going to sew them into favors for me, so these pictures are kind of a mess.

I had a lot of fun with the tails on the mermaids.
