In the most literal sense--I joined them at their fronts.
So the right sides are totally done. Just have to be joined at the back when I get the insides finished. And here's where I'm having a little bit of an issue.
I couldn't quite decide on the colors--either coral-orange-yellow or coral-orange-teal. I think the teal works better with the colors I was using for the vest pockets, but I just don't know if it's too weirdly 'rainbowy'
Yellow.
Teal. Thoughts? The whole thing with this character is much smaller areas of color, but with very bright, cheerful colors. It just feels weird, after having such controlled colors for the other characters--Red for Leoh, pink/peach for Lirienne.
Close up of the embroidery, which is just multiple rows of feather buttonhole stitch sorta "woven" into each other. Really happy with the texture of the stitch, it gives it a little bit of a ridge, echoing the corduroy.

The teal is gorgeous! it doesn't look rainbowy, it actually looks elegant to me. I can't wait to see them finished :)
ReplyDeleteI love the addition of the teal. It's nice having that bit of contrast.
ReplyDeleteBut I do love rainbows myself!
