The guide calls for beading the weather vane on House #5. Here we go:
Done! Amazing how the light can change the way the color looks. The bat was not painted the same on both wings so I chose to bead it to look balanced. We'll see how that looks when I go over the part not beaded with the background stitch. It looks like some frogging and restitching in that area.
Overall I am pleased with how it looks.
I stitched the other side of the roof of House #4. I wasn't happy with how the compensation made the peak of the roof on the left side look. I took DC's advice and put a long stitch at the peak and it made me like the end result more. The guide calls for using Wired Kreinik to outline the peaks. I did not like that stuff. I think it would be good for curled areas but it would not straighten out completely. When I formed the peaks, the metal showed through the fiber. Lastly, GG pulled on it to help me and a piece just broke off. I am going to try regular Kreinik size 16 to see if I can get the result I want.
what is the stitch for the sky, please?
ReplyDeleteIt's called Alternating Stones. I am using one strand of silk to stitch it.
ReplyDeleteI don't find alternating stone stitch in google search. Where can I find how to stitch it?
