Look at what I'm doing!

I’m having so much fun on this one! Honestly. So great. New techniques with layering - probably should have experimented with new techniques beyond couching a long time ago but whatever. Love the color restrictions based on the boiled wool header. It’s helpful to have some framework. But the rest of the design has no rules and that’s super awesome. I’m just having a ton of fun planning and working on this one.

The turquoise lines will outline what I hope will be a river of beads. Thinking I’ll do some of the dark green right above it and let those strands feather onto the river of blue and up into the purple above. Loving the gold circles. Tried to make them stand out but fit in for a cool variation. Used a purple holding bead in the middle that was shiny - not opaque - thought opacity would make it too loud.

And the red. Loving it. All the texture. Yes!
