Here she is again

[blueghostgirl]

Mermaid of the Pearls is progressing, if very slowly. I am up to the point where I can start to see progress, and that she is actually looking more like she should.

I have spent a portion of tonight colour coding my working copies. White is now mostly coloured in on the top half of the pattern. It does make the pattern easier to read, I think.

Most of her skin is done. Now it is filling in the sparklies around it. I pulled out my thread heaven, which I think will help immensely!

Here she is with a flash:




And no flash:

She looks lovely!

I used some metallic thread in my first counted project (I'd done a needlepoint before, but that's a lot easier). I tried separating the threads...and then they kept separating...and separating...my poor wife had to come save me from thread-related insanity at some point. D: Good luck with yours.

Thanks!

Oh dear.... Metallics generally are used as is aren't they? Thread heaven does help a lot with them.
