I start­ed work­ing on the Ele­men­tal Cos­mos piece from Witch­es Stitch­es back in August 2001. I end­ed up doing more frog­ging on this piece than on any oth­er in recent mem­o­ry, but it’s been worth it. And I fin­ished it in Decem­ber 2001. I used a 25-count black even­weave rather than the Aida spec­i­fied by the design­er, with 4 strands of DMC floss.
