The Same but Different
This time the thread is "Weeping Cherry" by LadyShuttleMaker. I wish the blue hadn't ended up all concentrated to one side, but it's still pretty. I like the sudden bursts of more intense color in this thread.
The more I work Marilee's patterns, the more I realize that her designs really need to be done in hand-dyed threads. Commercially dyed threads will never have the subtlety or the personality that these pieces require.
I did a couple more pendants from Jane's "Small Motif" as well.
The threads are "Fairy Faint" by Krystledawne and "Twilight Zone" by Yarnplayer. I find the "Fairy Faint" to be a very difficult thread to photograph. It is so light that it looks washed out on almost any background other than purple, and on purple it looks blue. It's actually a very pale lavender.
I sure hope these flower pendants will sell well, because I do seem to be making a lot of them!
They look good, too!
ReplyDeletePretty! Yes, HDT's do make a big difference, and they feel so good to work with.

I was wondering what you were going to do with all these lovely pendants! I'm guessing they will sell very quickly!
