HAED - 'Stolen'

Post by burgundyice »

Third project in my rotation - this is Stolen by Rachel Marks -
Image
I bought this in the 30% sale, as it's only small but still $15! Imagine how pleased I was when I found it has only 10 colours - and only a total of 27 skeins for the whole thing!!
BUT as it turns out they have really made use of all 10 colours, lots and lots of confetti :roll: And a lot of white-on-white stitching. It calls for Kreinik sparkly, but I went for B5200 instead (that really bright "snow white") as I didn't think people should sparkle!! (now have I given Twilight fans some ideas?! :lol: )

For some bizarre reason I thought I'd get the best light for this photo by balancing it on my knee in front of the window (look carefully and you can see all the snow outside!!) but needless to say it's come out a bit weird. I've tried to sharpen it up as best I can.

Let me introduce you to Mr Confetti Butterfly!! :shock: :o

Ooh, this is a lovely one and you've made a great start. I must confess, when I saw the title I thought "someone pinched it?" :oops: :roll: :lol:

This one was one of my favorites! I'll definitely enjoy watching this one. So far you've made a lovely start.
I, too, thought that that your HAED had been stolen when I read the header since this was right under the rewards program thread... I was thinking for a second that someone had stolen your images to try to win a free pattern!

Never thought of it like that!! Well I don't want to worry everyone, so how about inverted commas around it? :lol:

I would have been estatic too if there were so few colors..but the confetti doesn't sound all that appealing but will probably look great! I can't wait to see more of this one and hopefully all the white on white won't drive you crazy! :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce:

A very subtle design, and I think it's a good decision not to have sparkly people!

That picture does remind me of the Twilight Series. Nice design though.
