Another month down and I am halfway finished with this SAL! Stitched on 28ct tea dyed Monaco in 4 sittings, I was a little frustrated because I really only needed 2 days to stitch this but my sore muscles had other plans!
Gentle Arts Avocado, Sarsaparilla, Aged Pewter, Dungarees and Baby Spinach were all used in this conversion. I also stitched the brown duck on a diagonal to give the variegation a more natural look.
I wanted to try DMC Etoile and I am OBSESSED! It is like kreinik but easier to work with and the effect is subtler. I used a nice dark green for the duck head and think I captured the way the feathers seem to glisten in the sun! The Maiden
