Description This is actually a work in progress.
This part is the centre piece of a sampler that I'm designing for a magazine (she specifically asked for samplers). it will have some modern style blackwork around the outside as a square border and my name and the year (have to design the cmplete alphabet for the mag.

But I was pretty darn pleased with myself when this centre piece looked so nice, adn I wanted to share it with you.

That's gorgeous. Will there be a pattern in the magazine when you're done?

Yep, i certainly hope so.
I designed it as a sampler (so there is a border and an alphabet as well) which was what the editor specifically asked for, so I think there is a good chance she'll buy it.

Thankyou very much - actually the scan doesn't really do it justice. the colours are more vibrant in real life.

Thanks Kat ... I was so bummed out yesterday because I couldn't work on it. I hurt my wrist and I'm trying to rest it.

I think it might have been from doign too much cross stitch. he he. But it was fine until I reached up into the cupboard, and it just kind of ... twanged ... painfully.

I love the colour pallet, it looks so fluffy, like cotton candy

LOL, thanks. The colours aren't quite as nice through the scanner, they are a bit brighter in real life. I do tend to choose these sort of ... hmmm ... bright pastels?? for my work.

Milarca In reply to astraldreamer [2010-10-23 21:56:28 +0000 UTC]

Well, it's certainly not ugly So keep on doing it if that's what you like And I think bright pastels are nice for cross-stitch

he he ... it turned out OK on the scanner, and I was just doing it quick to get it up ... but a photo would probably bring out the true colours.

I like those colours a lot, so I'm sure to keep using them.
