The entire piece:
And now some closeup shots:
If anyone's interested, the colors I used were:
- brown borders = Crescent Colors Caterpillar
- lightest green = Gentle Art Spring Green
- medium green = DMC 4045
- darkest green = Crescent Colors Bewitched
- light blue = DMC 4025
- purple = Crescent Colors Pansy Purple
- red = DMC 4210
- yellow = DMC 4075
Hmm, it seems like DMC has some new Color Variations colors out now... bummer, because 4077 would probably be a better yellow, as 4075 has some greenish-brown bits in it that I had to cut out.
And now I'm off to work on my Octopus Treasure Cave! Speaking of Chatelaine... I'll be picking up the kit for Herbularius in another paycheck or two. Which fabric color looks best? I know there's not much of a difference, but I'm leaning toward the one on the right, which is a little more orange. Maybe someone else is stitching this beauty and has a recommendation? :3
Hope everyone else has made good progress too! :D
Oh my, you finished CdC. Congratulations! It's so gorgeous. Look forward to a WiP pic of Octopus Treasure Cave. I think it's a beautiful design. I like the layover on the right more as well. The one one the left looks a little dull compared to the one on the right.

Veronica.
Well done on your finish it looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY DANCE!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, Rahenna. Congratulations on a gorgeous finish.
As for Herb... like Veronica, I like the one on the right, too. The colors in the one on the left seem a little washed out by comparison.

ReplyDeleteI have to agree on the Chat fabric. I like the one on the right. The stitching pops more on that color.
Your cirque is gorgeous! Great job!
ReplyDeleteWOW Rahenna! You have been speeding along the line! Can't believe that your CdC is already finished! :-)
ReplyDeleteAs for Herbularius, I would also go for the fabric on the right (it's a little bit brighter).
Have a great time stitching your new beauty within a couple of weeks!
