6.06 Fairy Tale #4 adaption

As a pair up with today's other post, I did my usual thing and...adapted the pattern to other colours.

Yes.  I know.

I couldn't help it.

In my defense, I WAS going to stitch one of the other princesses, BUT I didn't have the pattern yet.....so I ended up with this.
(I do however now have the next pattern, so all is well and on track again)



And since a few people have been asking, here are the changes.

Main Dress 
5200 - 5200
819 - 3753
818 - 3761
761 - 3846/3761
894 - 3846
892 - 3845
891 - 3844
321 - 3843
k5705 - blue sparkle

Obi
336 - 3837
939 - 550
550 - 552
3041 - 209

Underskirt
5200 - 211
3756 - 209
168 - purple sparkle
k3202 - silver sparkle
k092 - purple sparkle

colours as in obi.

Beading was simplified to just two beads for the main dress.
03050 and 03049 - 02097
02011 - 02010

The crown
k3202 - silver sparkle
03050 - 02097
02011 - 02010
03049 - 62047

Now, when I say silver sparkle, blue sparkle, purple sparkle - I have some cheap generic sparkle filament threads that matched up to what I intended colour-wise.  However, since not everyone has those, as a rough guide these are about the closest I can find within my kreinik stash
silver sparkle - 011HL
purple sparkle - 026
blue sparkle - 033

Stitched on Aether, by Chromatic Alchemy.  32 count opal belfast linen, 2 over 2.

6.05 Fairy Tale Princess #4 - Kaguya

I found myself a new obsession, to go with the Mirabilia one I seem to have developed.

There is a series of fairy tale princess dresses, by Brooke's Books (on Etsy, worth looking up), where the various dresses of the princesses are stitched, along with their crowns.
Five are out of the series so far (there is 12 all up planned so far, I'm currently hoping a 13th gets added which is Moana *hinthint*)

So I bought one to try out.

ANYHOO...

Four days later, I had... this



I did admittedly change a couple of minor details - kreinik ribbons were replaced with other ribbons, and a couple of krenik #4 braid was replaced with a sparkle filament of suitable colour.  But otherwise the colours stayed to the original.
