The pink bargello is finished!
DH cut the back off of the pin I had so it would sit flat on the canvas and I tacked it on with some Kreinik #4 braid.
I just happened to have a pretty little silver frame and it fit perfectly! Threw away the glass, trimmed the canvas to fit (left about 5 blank threads all around) and stuck it in there. DONE!
How easy is that?!
I needed something small and easy to work on when company was here, so I started a 5" square Bargello.
The center will have a silver & pink pin on it, so I first basketweaved a pad for it.
The Bargello pattern is a new one (to me) that I found on line and adapted. The original was over 6 and I wanted it over 4. Surprise, that changed the whole thing and it doesn't look much like the original.
You can't tell very well, but there are 2 shades of the dark pinks. The centers that I have started are 2 shades of pink plus silver.
I was going to use those same colors, but reversed, to fill the "in between" centers as well, but it made them too prominent. So, back to the computer to try some other ideas!
