Blackwork - New Colors

Having decided that I hated the colors I chose for the flowers in the latest blackwork project, last night I picked them all out and tried again. This time I chose a lovely plum silk instead of scarlet, and opted for teal silk instead of switching back and forth between peach and blue. I'm much happier with the result. Obviously I'm not quite done filling in the flowers over these vines; it is a time consuming process.

    I would be happy to show you how. :)  I started with cross-stitch when I was about 10 or so, but this technique is much different - easy, but different.

    I also picked up an awesome peacock blue that I can't wait to use on something.
