Hello, hello... long time no post.. oops sorry about that. Well, as you can tell by the title of this post - the angel is finished! She is absolutely beautiful. The design is entitled "Elegant Angels" by Linda Bird and published by Stitch World X-Stitch. I used a piece of opalescent white linen and the DMC colours suggested by the designer. But of course, I had to change a couple of things (lol), I used Mill Hill Petite Red Red # 42013 and Mill Hill Petite Tapestry Teal # 42029 instead of the French knots for the flowers and the hair ribbon. The hair is done in an overdyed Gloriana silk that I received in a goodie bag, I am not sure if it is India Ink or the Antique Black. For the outlining of the pink part of her robe, I used Rainbow Gallery Petite Treasure Braid Red #PB07 and Rainbow Gallery Petite Treasure Braid Gold #PB01 for her wings. She is exquisite and her new owner April loves her.
I have been wanting to stitch this design for quite some time and folks, if you have this leaflet in your "To Do" pile, I suggest that you start it, you will absolutely love watching her come alive. As always, hugs to you all and thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to come and visit me. Louise
She is so lovely Louise! I hope you can convince her new owner to post a photo of her framed...what now, other than getting ready for the 30/13 challenge?
