FO: "Antique Lace"

Edit: fixed the title

This was the project I mentioned with the terrifying Hardanger. First, the finished product:

Victoria Sampler's "Antique Lace" bookmark. A lot of fun to stitch - I've never done pulled-thread work before this, either, and I loved stitching with the silk.

Sorry for the blurries. I hadn't realized how much my hand was shaking when I took them, and most of them, I can't shoot again...

	Before starting to cut.
	Withdrew a few of the threads.
	And some more pulled out in the other direction...
	Ack! Naked needlework!
	The finished product, with needleweaving, doves' eyes, and beading.

I tried some of the cuts with a method suggested on a website I was looking at - carefully identify the thread, cut it in the middle, unravel it to the end, lift it the way it wants to go, and then snip it, which is supposed to make it easier for the end to withdraw all the way under the satin stitching. I found that method to be a pain in the rear, all in all; I'll live with my little fringies. I plan to stitch some kind of backing onto it and then (gleep) cut it out...
