This is Fox's "Maeve" motif. You can see it before I put it on the ornament at Fox's blog.
The threads are Lizbeth 656 Wedgewood Dark and 633 Purple Dark, and "Vanilla Sky" HDT by Tatskool. I love this colorway, but I can never manage to photograph it well, no matter what kind of lighting or background color I use. This is pretty close, except that the pinks are maybe just half a shade darker in real life, and the areas where it looks blue are really a little more purplish; the underlying problem seems to be that my camera doesn't recognize the color periwinkle, which is really what it is.
I pinned it on the ball with some pink seed beads off a necklace I bought at a yard sale and cut up. I was going to put other, blingier, beads around the perimeter of the motif, but once I got this far I realized that anything more would be overkill.
I really wish you could see this ornament in real life!
very nice work.

Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteEven if we can't see it in its true colors it's still beautiful. Great job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, love the colours, I have the same trouble with some threads and I don't know why but some just change when they see the camara.
