Bayeux Tapestry Elevation Piece

I stepped in to help create a Cap of Maintenance for a lady in Colorado getting her Pelican. I have never met Wyolet, but I hope her day was wonderful! We were given wool, linen to line and told to do what we wanted with our assignments.
The finished cap with my piece incorporated

This is what I was given for the Baroness' Chalice.

I ordered wool thread that never came in, so I used silk. I never again will use silk for Bayuex! Or at least I will find better silk.
I did a running stitch to keep the wool and linen from moving too much.

I shrank the image and transferred it to the stabilizer and started sewing.

The final piece. I think I messed up and took the black mouth too high on the trunk, but it looks OK.
