Fine tuning the pattern

Just a bit better?
It's not really this blueish, the background is cream. This is already the third lot of photos, with extra light, with flash, without, nothing seems to help. Still I think you can see the bamboo style border and the removal of the contour stitching around the flowers, oh and the removal of 2 of the branches and it's now reduced to 6 colours, 2 blue or green or pink or yellow, the cream background and 2 browns and a golden light brown.

It all makes it a bit softer and hopefully an early 20th century Western interpretation of Japanese style. It is now 185x245 stitches, 45325 in total, which should be about 15.6x20.7cm (6.14"x8.14").


I'll try a daytime photo later (it's almost midnight now) to see if I can improve the colour.

Night-night,   Idske

  1. I love it, Idske, it looks fantastic, but oh, you are brave with all that background, it would drive me nuts stitching it, I get bored so quickly ;-)

    1. Hi Elga, I was wondering about that- I've never stitched that much background in a colour very similar to the fabric. I wonder if I can keep it going... I saw that you work all colours at the same time and I'm going to try that as it's only 6 colours now, that might keep the boredom factor at bay. I suspect it will take at least a year to stitch!

  3. Hi Idske! Zo ziet het er veel beter uit, erg mooi hoor. Ja, die foto's: ben er ook vaak uren mee bezig om iets mooi op de foto te zetten, dat is best moeilijk.
    Groetjes, Ilona

    1. Ik bedacht later dat het een foto is van een printje dat op zichzelf al wat vaal van kleur is. Ik ga het nog wel proberen met een nieuwe foto, maar ik denk dat het borduren maar voor zichzelf moet spreken. Het zal wel even duren, want ik mis nog de juiste blauwe kleuren.

    2. Vergat ik bijna te vragen: ik kan niet vinden waar ik nog iets uit moet zetten voor de verificatie, weet je waar ik dat moet zoeken?
