Original Colorway |
To teach this piece at the recent EGA South Central Region (SCR) meeting in Dallas, I selected two additional colorways. They both use the original Kreinik #12 202HL.
They are:
Blue: Watercolours 160 Night Sky, Neon Rays 106, and Impressions 7072.
Green: Watercolours 065 Emerald, Neon Rays 30 or 31, and Impressions 5142.
Additional suggestions:
1. Use gold beads instead of Kreinik (except the trunk and star).
2. Stitch it in blue or green, but instead of gold Kreinik use a blue or green metallic, or complementary beads.
3. Attach a gold star instead of stitching one.
4. Stitch it with silver metallic on silver flecked canvas.
5. Experiment with other Watercolours and threads. This is a Carole Lake basic method that I really love - pick a Watercolours and a metallic, and go from there.
The tree is a universal symbol and the possibilities are endless.
I appreciate everyone's interest in this design.
