Ta-daa! The Forge

 Here it is, all finished...I think.

 This was my starting point, a pretty little cottage called The Forge, presumably because it used to be...a forge. 

 I'm quite liking the straggly, frayey bits of thread. I'm not going to trim them, I don't want the finish to be too neat.

 My favourite part is the green railings which I had to wait almost till the end of the piece to do. You can actually see them better in the first photo, before I added the last two hanging baskets.

 After the railings, it has to be the little bits of stonework.

 I just need to find some way of getting prints made of it now. I need to start taking my work more seriously and making it work for me. But where to start, having prints made, that's a whole new ball game! I still haven't done anything with The Old Sweet Shop. I'm a bit of a control freak so not being able to take control of the printing bit makes me put it off altogether. V naughty.

Hmmm...maybe it just needs a couple more stitches here and there. 

Thank you for stopping by and any tips on how to go about getting good quality prints made would be more than welcome.
