Minas Tirith -2
Minas Tirith is made up from several different images from the Tapestry.
Originally it was to be just a background feature of the "Pelennor Fields" piece,  but I liked the image so much that I decided it needed its own piece all to its self.





Work in progress


Minas Tirith - The disaster!!
the stitching is so close that it has gathered the edges and turned them into a frill
I have learnt a valuable lesson - to use a frame for dense embroidery!!
However the piece is savable.
With a little help from Photoshop you can see what I propose to do.
Cut all the outside off, leaving just the stitching and mount it on a black background.
This will mean it needs to be framed, but as I have spent four months on it so far,
I refuse to abandon it.
And to be honest I prefer it on black.
