I found a shop bag with a needlepoint canvas tacked to the stretcher bars. The design was an ornament freebie (I think it was a freebie, after all it's been 19 years!) done with one skein of Caron Watercolours and 1 spool of Kreinik #16 braid in a coordinating color. The design was 3/4 done with Watercolours in shades of blue and silver Kreinik. I finished it in 2 hours!! So pleased!
I was so pleased I started another one! LOL The first one took a few days to complete. The second one took 19 years to complete. Any bets on how long it'll take me to do this one?? LOL I am going on vacation next week so maybe I'll bring these ornaments as my only project. This one is in rich dark colors with reds and purples. I've paired it with purple Kreinik. I like it!
The bag held, as you can surmise, several skeins of Watercolours and several spools of #16 braid. Some are obvious pairings and some I have no clue what I was thinking. Did I not get Kreinik for each?? I may have to take the uncertain pairings to the LNS and check out new combinations. If I'm smart, I'll write the pairings down!
