karen4bells Mirabilia Christmas Elf & snowman finished 12 9

Post by karen4bells »

I had spotted someone in one of the facebook groups working on this and just fell in love with the cherub. This is one of the sweetest faces I've seen. I'm stitching her on a 32 count evenweave, that is hand dyed pale blue--I think it's lugana. Here is my progress on her

I did substitute the skin tones from dmc to rainbow gallery splendor threads which are a silk!! I have had these from a project I did years ago and forgot I had :doh:

First of all, thanks for the wonderful feedback. And like you, Dana, I've had these all downloaded for a while too, but just had to finally start on this one :)

Yes, it's definitely a She :D It will be more apparent with the next update and I didn't know that the sheen would show up on the skin, but glad it has!!

Thanks for all of the very nice replies everyone!! :)
