Ornament of the Month 2020 - July

Welcome to the seventh Ornament of the Month for 2020! This month I used a few beads - they are all fixed in place using a full cross stitch going through the bead twice - some X's are bigger than others, so please look carefully before doing the stitching. This month's colours of the month are green, russet, and red. I had already used red and green so decided to use russet, except I didn't have anything on hand that was orangey red enough so I went with copper instead as that too is more orangey than brown - though sometimes it's a bit more pink. Mine of course had to go more towards pink hehehe.

In real life it doesn't look as pink as this but it absolutely refused to look more copper-like today.

And a close up of the ornament - even now the beads are a bit difficult to spot!

Here the colours are more accurate... from left to right Kreinik #4 Very Fine Braid 021C, Craft thread, DMC 3778, and TOHO TR-11-740 Copper-Lined Crystal
