Peony has been finished for quite some time (late 2018 perhaps), but it was not until someone asked me for my conversion that I realized I had not posted her on the blog!
She traveled with me to San Antonio where Nora Corbett herself saw me place stitches in the skirt (along with hundreds in the airport as she kept me company during a lengthy delay)!
I converted the majority of Waterlilies to cut down on the cost:
WL 066 - DMC 563
WL 269 - DMC 603
WL 072 - DMC 823
WL 196 - CC Razzleberry
WL 271 - DMC 988
WL 083 - DMC 3847
All those Garnet beads!
A note on the hair conversion: I had to stop after each color to asses where to go next, often times texting photos to the Mother for her opinion.
Hair Conversion (DMC):
938 - 310
433 - 3371
435 - 938
437 - 801
677 - 434
712 - 435
I was really excited with the final product and felt that I was able to maintain the highlights and appearance of the up-pulled strands.
Peony is so stunning in person, these photos really do not do her justice! The Maiden
