Cmon Monde, Encore Une Pirouete Finish



Here she is skating away.  I am so glad that I got her done on time.  I am sure that my little girl will love her.  I made quite a few changes to the design.  I added snowflakes, used Wisper thread for a wooly look and Kreinik metallic for shine.
On the link below you can see when I first started her:


for the skates I used a Kreinik thread #8 102 to add shine to the blades
 

 For the hat, scarf & gloves I used Wisper thread W72,W795 to give it a real wooly look  



and here Mill Hill Metal treasures 15001 were added for the flakes.

WIP Cmon Monde, Encore Une Pirouete

My friend and I ventured to a Cross stitch shop.  I happen to come across this chart and fell in love with it.  My daughter is just learning how to skate so I thought that it would be perfect.  I am doing the scarf part in Rainbow Gallery Whisper thread to give it some effect.  I might even add a silver metallic thread to the skates.
You can see my finish here: Encore une Pirouette 

These are the gorgeous colors.  I am also using Zweigart 28ct Lugana Metalic (3270/3809/55)
 Color: gold/mushroom.
 You can see it sparkle a little more in the picture below.
