Welcome
to the eleventh Ornament of the Month for 2019! This month's colour is Amethyst, although I know I did an amethyst back in 2015 this one is a very different colour, and especially a different pattern so I decided it would be ok. Just one more pattern left for this year, I wonder if you can guess what it will be?
Yes! I actually finished it this month! I really struggled to get the purple to show as purple at all in my photo, I don't know why purple is so difficult to photograph but it is.
These are the threads and beads I have used to finish my
ornament. On the middle left is DMC 550 that I used for the stitching
and on the middle right is the craft thread I used for the tassel
and cord. On the far right is Kreinik 026L #4 Very Fine Braid. The
beads are TOHO TR-11-928 Inside-Color Rainbow Rosaline/Opaque Purple Lined (now *that* is a mouthful!). If you can't get
hold
of TOHO beads Mill Hill have plain beads that similar to the TOHO beads: 62042 - you can see
what
they look like
here.
Of
course you are free to use whatever colours and threads you like - I'm
just showing you which threads I have chosen for this month, which are
also the colours I charted the pattern with.
You can find the pattern

I can not believe that it is already November!! Where, oh where does the time fly? This is an elegant ornament (as they all have been this year) and I am so far behind that it will be 2020 Christmas forme.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the wonderfully beautiful patterns that have made me want to grow younger- I will never finish everything that catches my eye and imagination. Thank you, thank you. Have a wonderfully stitchy month.
I know - it's zoomed past this year! Thank you! I fear that some of mine may not make the tree this year either, but we shall see, they are all stitched which is a big help!
DeleteYou are welcome! You shall just have to live till you are 150 instead! hehe :D You are more than welcome, I'm glad I can share my creations and that people like them :)
Purple can be a real pain to take pictures of - for some reason, my camera won't do it at all, but my phone does is decently. I'm sure this is very pretty in person, though!
ReplyDeleteIt can indeed! I somehow got a better picture when I tried again for the Finish It In... 2019 post :D
