My maidens.

The day before I left for England, I got back the fourth of my
maidens (nude females for any newcomers) back from the framers. This is
the Alberto Vargas, and she really looks very good. I have had my web
site updated, so if you want to see the four I have completed, go to
www.ncf.ca/~bf906. I hope the caption which Vargas put on the original
raises a smile or two.

Hi Jim,

Welcome back and Happy New Year.

Your Vargas "maiden" turned out beautifully! What (or who) is next?

Simply amazing work. I like them all. Where do you get the patterns? I would
love to stitch them.
Happy New Year,

Nice work, as always, Jim. :-)) I showed the site to my DH & his comment
was: "Smart man". :-)))))

I had started "The Bath of Psyche", by Lord Francis Leighton before I
did the Vargas. Psyche is over half finished. I am not sure if there is
another in the future. Probably. I have started the trillium, but I am
not very thrilled with it.

The first three patterns, La Source, Ariadne, and Maja, I got from a
lady in the Phillipines. However, the Vargas and Psyche I produced
myself. In principle, one justs downloads a picture from the web, puts it
through pattern producing software, and there you are. In practice it is
not quite that simple, but it is really quite easy to do. If you want
more details, I would be delighted to talk to you by email.

He crafts his own patterns, I believe, through an electronic image of
the pictures.

You do beautiful work, Jim.

Jim,
First, welcome home.

Second, your work is astonishing! I really love Adriane!

Welcome back, Jim. The maidens are really lovely, well, maybe another word
would be more apt for the Vargas one. But, they're really good. I know
you're enjoying them.
