Voila, the ornament

I finished up the Voila ornament.  I did a simple gold trim around the outside edges and the back is gold lame.  I used a plain gold cord for the hanger, and tied a green bow--that matches the Fuzzy stuff in the middle and at the bottom.  Who would have thought I would have that?!

Voila! and a giveaway

Voila! is finished!  I did the rest of the tiny cross stitches with the Treasure Braid and the four way tent with Hi lights.  Next tent stitch created the last pink bulb and string art on top of those.  Last, another section of String Art with more Treasure Braid and Hi lights and the bottom bulb is fuzzy stuff! If you would like the pattern to stitch your own, I will do a giveaway so leave a comment and we will do a random drawing on Sunday.

Single crossing

I am moving down the ornament by doing single cross stitches over one thread to create the next shape of the piece using Treasure bread.  Lots of counting here!  LOL

Voila returns

I finished all of the Rhodes stitches to finish the top section.  Next up are 3 x 3 Jessicas using Treasure Braid in blue and gold and then putting a Smyrna in the center of each in alternating colors. The green is a trame stitched Fuzzy stuff!  How fun is that?!  Below that is slanted Gobelins with Treasure Chest.  Next up is four way Tent with Treasure Braid in gold and then French Knots worked with pink Splendor.  Still could be a spaceship or even a hot air balloon!  Love this as it is fast and so fun!

A spaceship?

Working on this today, it reminded me of a spaceship!  LOL.  I finished all of the Hi-Lights on both sides and down the center.  I then did the center two bands using six strands of pink Splendor.  I have started the jewels by using two strands of Hi-Lights and doing the Rhodes stitch.  Then another Rhodes is stitched over topof the first one.

Fourth one

This is the fourth project in the rotation.  Voila is by Kimberly Crum designs and it is being worked on 18 count canvas.  I could not decide whether to use the called for colors and have decided to go for it.  They are a little out of my usual choices but it is an ornament design after all.  I have started at the top with a tied stitch using a gold Treasure Braid to create the cap.  Next, starting down, I am using Hi-Lights with two strands to tent stitch the shape of the top part of the design.

Voila!

Voila! is by Kimberly Crum design and is also sitting on my worktable.  I am trying to decide if I want to use these colors or switch them out to something different.....hmmmm.  Okay, I have some of the ones it calls for...except not brown canvas....do have white though....
I am cleaning in my room trying to restore some order to my stitching haven and decide which one to work on!  Can you tell?
