This is about a quarter of the center medallion finished. The center is worked with DMC and Petite Treasure Braid, and the outside flower motifs are worked in various hand-dyed silks. There will be the addition of beads once I finish all of the cross-stitching itself, but I want to wait to add those so they don't get snagged or moved around too much.
For the first 6 days of August, I'll be working on my Shoot The Moon project, charted by Heaven and Earth Designs, mini size with no background. Artwork by Lee Ann Seed.
I'm stitching this on a hand-dyed 28-count evenweave in a gradient colorway (light to darker purples), using DMC Black (310). I've gotten the top 3 pages done - page 3 in the top right hand corner actually has no stitching in it, so that was fast, and I'm halfway through page 4 and have worked a bit on page 5. Hoping to get to the point I can place the upper edge of the fairy figure during this rotation, but we'll see how I go along with it.
A few more days of work on this and then I'll be switching to my Under the Sea SAL for days 7-12 this month.
