I thought I has posted a month or so back about Time Lash, but I had only managed to get half the post put together before something obviously happened. So sorry, but here's a catch up of what I've been stitching since the last post
DJK's Fantasy World
Welcome to DJK's Fantasy World where I'll be building different models for table top role play games and discussing my writing, including my novels based on the very first fantasy character I played. The models are made from recycled materials where possible, although various commercially purchased products will also be used and discussed.
I'll also throw in the occasional book and theatre reviews, you can't beat live performance. Plus my Dr Who tapestry progress.

A Second Revelation
Concluding work on Revelation of the Daleks, and joining Kara is Orcini the Knight of the Grand Order of Oberon played by William Gaunt.
I understand it was his birthday recently, plus I just happened to be listening to a BBC Radio CD of the Time Machine at the same as stitching in which William Gaunt played H.G. Wells.

A little Revelation
I'm working backwards through the classic timeline at the moment and reached Colin Baker's first full series as the Doctor.
There are already several Daleks and Davros is already represented from both Genesis and Remembrance so although I'd like to do him as The Greater Healer this story is going to be represented by two of the outstanding guest cast.
First to be completed is Kara played by Elenor Bron.
She will be joined on the tapestry by Orcini the Knight of the Grand Order of Oberon played by William Gaunt. Work has just started on him.

"In The Tribe of the Free we have a saying...
... we go forward."
And forward we go with the latest addition to the tapestry, Queen Katryca herself.

Playing Catch Up
It's been a couple of months I know, and although I've found time to get some work done on the tapestry - once the day was done and I was in bed, hot water bottle, cuddly toy and whiskey mac/Lemsip (circumstances dependent) by my side and audiobook playing, time in front of the screen to edit photos and upload has been slight. December and January have been busy months. Plus I had issues downloading to the PC from iCloud in January (Waves angry fist in the air, "Bloody Apple")
Continuing with Trial of a Time Lord characters, since the last update I've added...
Lord Kiv from Mindwarp - here is the original sketch made on the canvas for use as a guide and the final stitched character.
A Mogarian from Terror of the Vervoids
Sabalom Glitz (apparently he died falling over a whiskey bottle, according to Mel in the anniversary specials) from The Mysterious Planet & Dragonfire
Next up is Queen Katryca.

Happy Birthday Doctor

September is the time to enter the matrix
Now I am working across two of the panels at once. These are the final two panels to go on the right hand side of the tapestry. The top panel you saw the start of recently. There I added the Unbound Doctor, Benny, Iris Wildtyme and Panda along the top.
I have now returned to working up from the bottom and last night I added the last stitch to the Keeper of the Matrix from the Trial of the Time Lord.
The Sixth Doctor's own panel already featured Madam Inquisitor and the Valeyard, and various characters who also appeared in the trial season have already been added, as can be seen on the page dedicated to The Trial of a Time Lord
I'm often asked if I work from any pattern, all I do is a working guide sketch on the canvas then fill in from a photo beside me. Here's the comparison of the sketch to the finished Keepr.
Next up will be King Yrcanos and The Lukoser/Dorff
