As usual I'll sit on it and see if it needs "enhancements". I'm considering adding a color backing behind the eyelet stitches - but the rest of the piece needs to be backed with white. I'll see if I can make that work. Considering a frame now.

Gatsby Done
It turned out to be more difficult than I imagined, judging by how many times I had to rip and re-stitch a section. It turned out well; I prefer not adding most of the outlines as specified by the instructions. Here's the original for comparison.

EXQUISITE!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I think I prefer your colors choices. The pink in the original seems too pale. Yours is very vibrant.
ReplyDeleteThe pink in both cases is the same DMC floss - it must either be the lighting or the photo rendition. That pink is DMC 353.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting!
Beautifully done. Nice choice of colours.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning - well done!
ReplyDeleteWhat an elegant piece of work! I bet it was satisfying to do.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out very well, specially for my first foray into whitework. Thanks for visiting!
