I was able to sit at my needlework stand yesterday, and I completed the goldwork for my Lt. Ed. Corgi Brooch. I'm so tickled with how the first one turned out!
The body of the Corgi is a bright check purl color called "cider" and the white ruff is a thread in an opal color. It really sparkles in the light, and once the brooch is complete, I'll do a little outdoor video to show you just how much the light bounces around on the purls.
I'm hoping to release the work from the ground fabric and turn it into a brooch when I get home from work late this afternoon. I really can't wait to see it finished now.
It's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo sparkly.

Hi Marilyn:
DeleteI had rainy weather today. Otherwise, I would have recorded a short video to share. Hoping for sunny skies today so I can have a better chance of capturing even more of the sparkle.
Thanks, Marilyn!

Sherry of createology: Donna your Tag Brooch has turned out beautifully. I can see my happy little Corgi cutie and his personality. Self-care is critical. I have RSV and it is no fun. My energy is zapped and the cough wracks my entire body. Enjoy your day dear.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry:
DeleteThank you so much, dear. I can, too. I think about him all the time. I miss him terribly, as I know you do. sigh I'm sorry about your RSV. I'll keep you in my prayers, sweet friend.
