‘Pieces of Eight’, Octagons M and U

Filed under: Pieces of Eight

These are 2 of 4 being done in a southwest color & are being framed as a set. Again, a little filament thread goes a long way to sparkle up a design without overpowering it. I’m going to get a lot of gifts out of this work.

Octagon M is a Waffle Variation & I added a Byzantine to frame it.

Octagon U is a Tied Oblong Cross (same as Octagon G) & I added something like a Byzantine Stitch that I made up to frame it. I do like symmetry & these 2 are going to be the top 2 of 4 framed octagons.
