Poppy - finished!

Oops, I finished last week but I've been slacking on posting. Here's Poppy!




I made a few changes as usual:
- used a deep red-brown instead of DMC brown in skirt
- changed white in wings to DMC 1 (pale grey)
- changed silver metallic on hip to red metallic
- matched style of beading on top curls to bottom curls more closely

My next project is Beaded Dragonfly Tile by Chatelaine. As suspected, adding fabric to the edges so I could put it in a larger q-snap has made a huge difference! I wouldn't say I've made a ton of progress simply because it's a slow stitch, but there's definitely obvious visible progress now. I'll save that for my next post, though. :3

  6. Congrats on a beautiful finish! I think she's one of the prettiest of the flower fairies (but I'm partial to red). Your changes came out great :)
