This much color is a bit more "over the top" than what even I like, but I wanted to use HTD and don't currently have much selection in size 10, which is what the original pattern was done in. Oh, and I discovered out that size 10 DMC Cordonnet Special is thinner than size 10 Flora. Started this necklace from my own "Vision" pattern, and then discovered that I actually had size 20 on one shuttle and size 10 on the other - oh, good grief!This discrepancy did not seem to cause any major problems so far, though, and since the size 20 shuttle was nearing empty anyway, I changed at that point to size 10 on both shuttles.
The 2nd photo shows the second half of the necklace getting started. Will show the finished necklace when I get it done. Still waiting for the March/April issue of "Belle Armoire" to get to the magazine rack at my local Barnes and Noble bookstore. Wish now that I hadn't given up my subscription...
...well, I didn't know they were going to publish my necklace!
I think the color looks great! I love the Hello, Kitty safety pin... great color matching!
ReplyDeleteI think the colours will work. I see someone wearing it in the spring with a plain white shirt, sure would catch everyone's attention.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors, but then you know how I feel about this particular thread! I think it will be lovely and I agree with Clyde that in Spring with a plain white shirt, it will be very striking. I have been looking for the magazine as well. Maybe soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! Now all I have to do is find a white shirt....
ReplyDeleteOr, you could sell it to me!
ReplyDeleteFrankly, it makes me think of raspberry & lime sorbets & right now it's way too cold to be drooling over sorbets. I think that the colors are very springlike and would look great as the 'note of interest' to keep an outfit from looking blah.
ReplyDeleteI can see wearing it over black, as a wish for spring. Something that I can really sympathize with right now.
Tattycat, I'm glad you like it, but this particular necklace is going to be mine :-) I do intend to get a few more made for my Etsy shop.
ReplyDeleteSewicked, the sorbet comparison sounds really yummy! And I am certainly wishing for spring!
It was worth a try!
