Since then I have begun to make the color changes I kept seeing in my mind's eye when I considered this project.
This is labeled as an English crown but I guess my Irish is coming through! Every time I looked at the design I saw an emerald green velvet cap surrounded by a framework of gold. I'm not quite sure what I'll do about the gem stones indicated. Since the background is white, pearls may be out of the running.
There are stitchers around the world participating in this SAL. We check in every three weeks. It's amazing how helpful a deadline can be. If you'd like to get motivated in this way drop Avis an email. We're welcoming Helen to the group this time - welcome Helen!
See you in December!
I like the idea of green
ReplyDeleteLooking good! Always do what your heart tells you!
ReplyDeleteSue, I'm not Irish, but I think the dark green is an excellent choice!
ReplyDeleteLots of lovely progress. I haven't seen anything like this before. Unusual is good :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind welcome Sue. I am hoping that the thought of showing my progress will be the spur I need make me move on some of my wips.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your work progress
Helen
I prefer your alternate colour scheme too! And emeralds and rubies would be in agreement with this Irish crown, I feel. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteLooks great with the green velvet :-)
ReplyDeleteNice progress. It is great that you are making this your own.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of fun! I was wondering what SAL meant. Now I know.
ReplyDeleteI like the Irish version! You've made a lot of progress this time around.
ReplyDeleteYep, follow your heart :) It is going to be lovely
