Arabian Magi by Kelly Clark

How he arrived

 I am stitching this fellow using a guide created by Amy Bunger of Amy's Goldent Strand in Memphis, TN.
On to the mismatched stretcher bars

Saturday afternoon

The stitch for the cape has three steps and three threads.  Very luxurious.

  3. This is my favorite Wise Man from this series. He's looking good! It's fun to see the stitches go in as I understand what magic Amy added better that way.

  4. Thanks! I sure wish my pictures were better. Sometimes they are crystal clear and other times they look like this. He is handsome for sure.

  5. I have the Nativity Series from last year and have almosts finished Jesus and have put a couple of stitches in the Mary canvas. I can't wait to do all of the Wise Men....that whole series is so beautiful with Amy's guides. Thanks for the photos and motivating me to get back to them. I haven't touched anything else (borrow some cross stitch) but the Thx house for weeks.
