I ended up taking a short break from Cirque des Triangles to finish Here Comes Treble and First Bass by Ink Circles. There is a third design called
Alto Gether Now which I won't be stitching because I'm not familiar with that particular clef.
I'm not a musical person. I think I have a tin ear. I like listening to music, but it's mostly a matter of "I like how that sounds". I had to take music or art as a humanities elective in high school. I was highly encouraged to do music since the art teacher thought I had no aptitude for it. However I wasn't a particularly good music student either. I never did any of the work or practiced. I "played" the violin for two years because I needed to make my high school transcript look "well-rounded". It was mostly a matter of memorizing where my fingers were supposed to be in what order. I could never tell if my violin was in tune or not. I was the despair of my music teacher! I put my violin into storage as soon as I got my university acceptance and haven't touched it since. Despite this I still have a fondness for listening to the violin (even though classical music puts me to sleep). I thought I'd stitch the two clefs I knew as a tribute to that grumpy teenager who'd have much rather been reading a book and the poor teacher who had to suffer!
They are stitched over one on 25 count and I was going to post as soon as I finished, but in a fit of optimism I thought I'd finish-finish them over the weekend. That didn't happen, so I'll throwing in the towel and posting them anyway.
Fans of Cirque des Triangles fear not! I picked it back up and am zipping along.

Sweet tribute to the grumpy teenager ~ I love it!
Those are lovely. You did a great job.
I played violin in grade school. I was never very good, but I did enjoy it. I gave up music in high school though, so I could concentrate on history, math and science instead. Sometimes I regret it, though. :/
I really like it! After I read your text, I thought about my piano lessons when I was a child...I really hated..eheheeh good times!
:D
They are really pretty. I think I might have to get them for my daughter.
They look good.I know nothing about music and only recognize the first one. :)
Cute picture :-)))
Very cute finishes! I've never seen those before, but love the color combinations the designer used.
Aww, what a shame you're not planning the do the alto clef. (It's a C clef and is used by my instrument - the viola!). Still, at least I know there is a design now and might just do one myself to put up in my music corner.=)
really beautiful...I love the colours
ciao Pat
