Hello blog friends.
The pictures you're about to see don't exactly match what it looks like in reality. Why do I say this? Because I know you'd be murmuring, What in the world was she thinking? Haha.
Last time I showed you this I was matching dyed floss vs. DMC to control my spending. This time around, I think you need to control me.
It gets lost on the fabric, it's really lighter than the picture color.
I replaced it with DMC 931, and here's how it looks:
It doesn't really look shockingly bright like the photo, I thought the medium antique blue evenly matched the dusky pink. Yeah, I really do need controlling. Maybe a nice frame mat will do justice to this piece, who am I kidding?
Thanks for visiting. Happy Stitching!

Your stitching looks beautiful whatever shades you are substituting:) It is fine if you are spending for the right shade you are looking for but then if you collect too many brown/dusky shades then you will need some more projects around those shades in future.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks great Gominam and I love the colors your using.

ReplyDeleteI actually think that it looks really good:))) You've done well with your substitutions in my book! It'll be beautiful once finished:)
