I finished the Waste Canvas experiment, rinsed it, ironed, and blocked
it. The silks I used - Kreinik's PingLing and Au ver a Soie's Soie
D'Alger did not run, so I didn't have to worry about that, thankfully,
since I had to get the stitched area very wet and keep it wet in
order to remove the waste canvas (that glue sets back up real fast). I
prefer the look where I did a full cross in the over-one section (the
green next to the body), but I was splitting the threads as I couldn't
see where to finish the cross, so wound up just doing a tent stitch.
It works, but... Anyway, I do believe I can do The Egyptian Garden
Mandala by Marine Weber using this technique.
The second piece I finished is a canvas embroidery piece that is
supposed to emphasize diaper patterns. Not so sure I achieved what I
was trying for here - the effect of block shape and placement on the
perception of whether a stitch is a diaper pattern or not. I'm still
thinking about it.

I've never heard of a diaper pattern. Now I have to go google....

LOL - you need some reference books, my dear! Essentially, patterns that
are all-over, and diamond shaped or emphasizing a diagonal design line.
There are some good articles from people who did some research while
pursuing Master Craftsmen certs - on ANG site, and probably EGA.
Next thing - Darning patterns - which you see in a lot of linen work.
Diaper patterns I think are more often seen called out as such in canvas
work - no statistical proof, but what I kind of think.

This is why I recommend thoroughly washing AND drying a waste canvas
piece before trying to remove the canvas! Most waste canvas directions
recommend removing the threads while the piece is wet but it's just a
total P.I.T.A. in my book! Anyway, wish I could get to RCTNP but that
