I toyed with the idea of making a kind of cut-and-paste mock-up in Photoshop to see how the repeats work out together, but then I decided I’d rather spend that time stitching than mucking about on the computer. When a design is made up of repeats, it’s hard to get a good notion of the overall effect until you’ve worked all the repeats. One of my problems is that I know I need to see the whole design complete before I’m certain about the seed stitching for the background, or the yellow on the sides. So I used seed stitch to speckle the background with the yellow. With the paisley elements to the design, I had a notion that the background should be barely colored, since the wider design area around them is not colored. I really, really wanted a burst of yellow brightness to this piece, but the jury is still out! It’s not an acid yellow – it’s more of a warm, sunny yellow, with the slightest tinge of red to it rather than green (it’s DMC 743).īut that’s the funny thing about color – the interaction with surrounding colors affects it. The yellow is a bit bright in this piece, but I’m not quite catching it right in the photos. There are a couple things about it that I’d change, if I were re-drawing it (which I will). I’ve also pondered the design in general. While the color scheme hasn’t changed, I’ve tested the mild background filling that I had in mind. Today, you’ll see that I’m still plugging along with it. I love it when folks leave comments that we can all interact with – it’s such a jolly way to share ideas and inspire others! So thanks for joining in! Well, I’m Still playing with it!
