Posting early again!
I've been hard at work on my cute witch ornament, and stitching on the perforated paper is more fun and easier than I expected! I finished all the parts that are done on the silver paper (hat, spider, and wand) and I've made a good dent in her dress too. All the blue is sparkly, so it's super shiny!
Unfortuately, I had to double up the dark blue Kreinik since it's unusually soft and has very light coverage for a #4 braid, so I'm almost out of it. The lighter blue is also a #4 but covers fine with just one strand. I'll still stitch as much as I can since there's a bunch of DMC to be added as well, but I'm a little sad that I went through the dark blue so fast. I must have used that color on something else recently but I can't remember exactly what it was! Maybe a mermaid?
But yes, I highly recommend these cute Brooke's Books ornaments! The colors are so nice and I'm really enjoying stitching on the paper. :)
Can't wait to see what this looks like stitched up! I hate using metallics of any kind so kudos to you for using it.
ReplyDeleteOh this is so darling! I can't wait to see it finished!
ReplyDeletewow so cute x
ReplyDeleteYour witch looks gorgeous so far. It must seem strange creating a cross stitch that you are going to layer-up into an ornament. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your witch! I bought the job lot of ten that Brooke was doing as a special offer. I was thinking of stitching the main part on aida and only the accessories on the paper (to save money!) as I intend to scrapbook them when they are finished. Belinda the Bat Witch/Vampire looked great when I did her.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great. Lovely stitching!
