Stitched on natural Aida. I
have changed some beads in the crown. The
metallic thread in the corners is not the
suggested one - I used a sort of opaque antique
gold metallic thread.
I used Kreinik #4 braid in
002HL for the metallic parts and I omitted the
Christmas wreath from the angel's head so that it
will be suitable for year round display.
I reversed
the image of this and stitched it onto a piece of
vintage fabric. I then turned it into an envelope
and mailed it as Mailart to my friend in Cyprus.
The fabric is 25ct. light
teal evenweave, the metallic thread is Nordic
Gold and I've used Mill Hill beads 02016 and
03049 instead of what was called for.
