The colors are so pretty and the design is lovely.

Not done much on Resurrection, but I did do another of the non-cut minis -- this one uses Anchor variegated perle, but it's really not strongly variegated enough; the change is so gradual it looks as though I did the center in a light thread and the outside in a darker one on purpose! The spider's web filling works OK "on top" though it may look better in #12, a bit less bulky
While it does look like you used two different shades of red, rather than variegated, it is really lovely. Are you going to redo it with a different thread for the spider web? I love it now.

I'm trying out different combinations for all the little minis -- they'll make good gift-tags for Christmas, and they make a nice relaxing and non-challenging change from my larger projects when I'm finding it hard to concentrate!
That looks great! Hmm, I was looking them over trying to pick which one to start... that looks like an interesting one. I also like how you "arranged" your colours.
I did another mini last night, and decided to change the chart a bit while stitching, because I was using a lovely Threadworx shade which I have in #5 and stranded cotton -- unfortunately they don't do it in #8. So I took out some of the Kloster blocks in the center of the heart, and replaced them with Rhodes stitches done in stranded cotton:
I just this shade -- I'm thinking of a design in this shade using some of the stitches from the book of Ukranian whitework DH got me

Faith, the shade is Threadworx #1078 Pastel Bouquet; it's available in perle #5 and stranded cotton. Some shades they do in #8 as well, like the one that's used in Scotland the Brave.
Wendy, none of the minis have names, I'm afraid -- Resurrection is the dragonfly design I'm working on at the moment, but it's quite big and requires more concentration than I can manage right now, so I play truant and do minis instead . I like your name for the heart though!
