I've drawn out all the design ideas I have. There are still a few holes, but I don't want to rush it, just for the sake of filling the spaces.
I've also drawn an outline around the whole thing. I'm thinking of filling the space between the outer edges of the curve and the outline with silver, like a swetebag background.
It does highlight that 1/4 of the design is out of alignment. This isn't a tracing thing - I mis-placed it (literally) when I put the design together. Ooops. Too late now. I'm just going to ignore it.
I've made detailed notes on all the motifs - I'll write them out as I embroider each motif.
I'm also getting some help from the Stitchin' Fingers forum on a few of the motifs, and the people there are great, as well as Mary Corbet from www.needlenthread.com, who is a wonderful help.
