Holi's wings were pulled out and the stitches adjusted so they touched instead of having the gap between them you saw before. Even though the gap was supposed to have a thread cover it, I like them better this way.
Holi is rapidly reaching the point of Too Much. Generally speaking, one can vary the colors, stitches, and textures (that would be the thread types such as smooth cotton versus fuzzy wool versus metallics versus shiny silks) in a piece and for a coherent design you probably should only vary two of them. I have used cottons and silk perles and fuzzy Wisper and metallics in this piece, used a lot of colors, and used a lot of stitches which are not really related to each other. The only unifying theme at all is the green used in most of the areas of the design. Holi isn't anything like my usual pieces but sometimes one has to try something different. I deliberately set out to make Holi colorful and vibrant to the point of earthquake and it looks like I've succeeded.
I'll put beads on the wings, that's for sure! LOL
