Yay, I received!  And get to post the first pic.     All I can say is it is absolutely, positively perfect!!!



and a close-up:



Crayon tinting I think?  Sugar skulls and owls, it gets no better than that.

I am off to hang it up on what will be the beginning of my embroidery hoop wall.  Thanks experimentl, you rock.

That's awesome! I love the layering effect on it.

 Ugh getting a case of swap nerves now 

[Tadiera]

That's great! Very nice stitching and colors.

[barbolot]

Just so you know, I'm fainting now.   That is so, so awesome!
And yes, it gives me terrible swap anxiety, and I haven't even started stitching yet!

What a totally incredible start to our gallery!! I love the black fabric - it really makes the bright colors in the design POP.

xperimentl - would you be willing to share with us how you did the tinting on the roses? I've never seen anything like that on dark fabric.

[missmoppet]

I agree, the black fabric really makes the colors pop.  As far as the coloring on the roses is that really crayon tinting?  Im using crayon tinting on mine but, Im just giving the desigin a slight hint of color. As all the crayons tintings I have ever seen have been very light.  I do like the deep color on the roses though, so it would be super if you shared your technique. 

[.:dollface:.]

what a wonderful job! i agree with the black fabric making the design pop! great idea!! I can't wait to see more hoopla!
