27. Judith Stanley Bramble Harvest


Judith Stanley designing for Needlepoise - Bramble Harvest
Stitched on 28 count Annabelle evenweave
using the threads from the kit.
A mixture of Anchor and Perle Cotton

I stitched most of this back in the late 1990s and only had the blackberries to complete.  I discovered a mistake in the placement which is probably why I had stopped stitching on it!

26. Hands on Design Broomstick Fuel

My third finish in the Scary Apothecary series:


Broomstick Fuel
stitched on 28 count linen in Radioactive from Chromatic Alchemy

I am using the DMC conversion for this, except for:

the black which is Weeks Dye Works Kohl 
(charted for CC Zack Black or DMC 317).
  

I used a blend of two DMC for the pink around the word "Fuel" rather than the charted variegated


I finished it in this frame from B&M
For the horizontal frames, I have used some scrapbook paper.  The plan is to stitch some poison bottles on perforated paper and add them to the piece.


Framed with Bat Balm and Bitter Brew
