As I take a little break from the stitching, I can still contemplate how I'll proceed when I can finally hold a needle again. (The bandaid really gets in the way.)
I went online and pulled a few more photographs of female bluebirds (one more in flight) so I could get more accurate colors for her plumage. The stack on the left and in the middle are the likely colorways. The three on the right are possibilities, if used sparingly. You already know I'm not afraid to remove something I've already stitched if it's not right.
My thumb is actually doing much better today. The cut isn't real deep, but I want to make sure I don't leave unwanted DNA on my project. I'll be cautious and give it another couple days to completely heal. I plan to be back at the frame by the weekend.
Those colors are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI hope your thumb is healing well.

Bluebirds are such lovely little creatures, and those colors are lovely, too! We all must be hoping your thumb heals really quickly... we are eager to see that bird in flight... and, well, of course, so that you feel much better, too! (-; Where would we be without our thumbs?!?!
ReplyDeleteSeems to me there's a site where you can upload your photo and it will suggest floss colours but darned if I can remember where to locate it. No matter, you've chosen wisely I think. Heal, thumb, heal!!!
