Fist pic of the Fantasy Garden
Here it is - the first day stitching on Blackstone Fantasy Garden. It's hard to visualise it at the moment but I think it'll work out OK.
The fabric is Silkweaver's Golden Promise and the main orangey thread is Dinky Dyes Desert Sands. The rest of the threads will be ones I had in my stash so they're a mixture of silks and overdyed cottons. The red-pinky one is Silk n Colors Frosted Auburn and the green is Crescent Colors Spinach.
I've used GAST Gingersnap around the Desert Sands. Do you think it's too dark? Martin says not. I'm not sure. Opinions will be welcome!

I agree with Martin - not too dark at all :) Lovely start!
ReplyDeleteGreat start, Nicki :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's too dark either. I think the colors are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's too dark. I love the frosted auburn. I should really pull mine back out; maybe your progress will inspire me :)
ReplyDeleteIn my humble opinion it looks great.
ReplyDeleteI think that the color will work out just fine. You just need to stitch up a little more to see it come together. ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat colors-Martin's right. It looks good.
ReplyDeleteNice start Nicki, it's looking lovely
ReplyDeleteI think your colours look really nice and wouldn't have known they were not the staed ones if you had not said.....that is how well they seem to blend.
ReplyDeleteI like the Gingersnap. You've made a great start!
ReplyDeleteGreat start! Can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteAutumn colours sound wonderful for this piece. You're off to a wonderful start!
ReplyDeleteI just started this over the weekend as well. I think the colors you've picked look great!
ReplyDeleteGreat start! I love the colors you've chosen. I don't think that thread is too dark either.
