Buttons and Necklace But No Halo


The Victorian parakeet got more basketweave background last night, plus beads for buttons on her jacket front and a bead necklace. The necklace chain is the Kreinik metallic that inspired the colors of her clothing. In the original Kandace Merric chose colors typical of the Victorian period. The original parakeet wore a pink gown with pink and green braided trim.

Very nice necklace, and I was pondering the width of the background as I was tracing the pattern on last night!

Thanks, everybody. I often let threads I see guide me in color choices I wouldn't have come up with on my own. This time it turned out particularly well.
