Grandiflora is coming along...

My Magnolia grandiflora - reinterpreted from Georg Dionysius Ehret 1743 is coming along, slowly but surely… 

Day 11 - today I worked on the top left corner and I embedded several letters within the white/greys - a "G" for Georg (Ehret) and Georgia (O'Keefe); a "D" for Dionysius (Georg's middle name) and an "L" for? … see if you can find them… they were all embroidered on scraps of linen sent to me from France! I am yet to find an "E"...


Day 14 below - with the chaos all around
