A pair weeks in the past, I wrote you a notice about colour choices and making colour selections for embroidery tasks.
We’re nonetheless doing that.
The design for the mission in query wanted some work, so between taking part in with the design and juggling colours, we’re getting just a little nearer to execution.
I made a decision to arrange some check stitching for a number of the design parts, simply to determine some issues out about threads and about methods. I wished to discover the chances of including in some metallics, simply to see.
I’ve the notion that, for this specific piece (which I plan to mount in a field prime), incorporating metallics into lengthy and brief sew and different stitches labored with floss could be attainable.
As a result of my imaginative and prescient for this specific mission is to provide one thing actually vibrant and energetic, I figured why not attempt it?
And so I did attempt it.
I’m undecided I’d contemplate the experiments profitable. I don’t not prefer it, however it undoubtedly wants some work. I’m going to vary the method considerably with subsequent petals.
(By the best way, I do know that flower seems large. It’s not fairly an inch in diameter.)
After I first began posting just a little bit about this mission – within the colour selection article – a lot of you chimed in with enthusiasm for the colour scheme that concerned the corals and the frosty sage-ish blues.
At this level, I’m leaning extra in direction of purples, corals, and yellows with this.
However by no means worry! We’re undoubtedly utilizing the opposite colour scheme, however not on this mission. Now we have one other mission within the works (with silk threads, yay!) that I’ll sneak peek to you on Friday. I believe in the event you preferred that colour scheme earlier than, you’ll love seeing it within the silks!
