Plain old DMC perle -- I thought I'd do something that wouldn't strain the budget for a change

It definitely stitches up well--looks metallic? Or is it just the lighting? I'm going to have to sort thru my threads and start trying out a few of these stitches soonMabel Figworthy wrote:Plain old DMC perle -- I thought I'd do something that wouldn't strain the budget for a change

Interesting start. I'm picturing some additions in my mind and trying to figure out how you'll finish.

Finished Peacock Feathers 
This is the "plain" DMC perle version (though there is some bling in the beads, which have a green metallic shine), but the chart pack will also have suggestions for a REALLY blingy version using Treasure Braid and Caron Snow (or Vineyard metallic silks if the budget allows)

I like this, lopsided or not!Mabel Figworthy wrote:It took a lot of practice to get them like that, trust me
Did a little stitching on holiday, the first colour of Horizon. It looks totally lop-sided and not very promising
Two more feathers to fill on Peacock -- very probably some time this week!

The peacock feathers are fantastic. That one is the closest one so far to tempt me to do Hardanger.
