This week I managed to finish another page from the Greenhouse of Oddities. We have some deadly plants like the Angel’s trumpet and Doll’s eyes in there. The skull moth looks better in person, I swear..
Also my secret project for November is way ahead of schedule. I have another 700 or so stitches to go but it’s already gaining shape!
I’m eager to see your progress!
You could always leave the border as is and switch for the figure. What you have here looks great, and there’s nothing wrong with different strands for different parts of the design, I don’t think.
Since I posted the picture I’ve already done a lot of the main figure with two strands, so for now I’m going to keep it going and see if it looks better once I fill in more details. I think I may start a second one with two strands just on the borders and see which one looks better
