| The Christmas Alligator's Tail Being Stitched |
I've made some progress on the Jude Designs alligator, having beaded his blue Christmas ornament and put in his sunglasses' lenses. Currently I am working his body in Dotted Swiss stitch, doing tiny cross stitches every other canvas thread with Kreinik's 070, which is cleverly called "Mardi Gras." Since the metallic is gold, purple and green (Mardi Gras colors) the name is a great description of the thread. The skipped stitches will be a dark green Felicity's Garden (a silk-wool blend) to tone down the sparkle a little. Santa's fur, claws, nose holes, and the frames of his glasses are undone and I will need to do some outlining of his head and the ornament to tidy up the design before finishing, but he's coming along well. He's been a fun distraction at night after a full day of Christmas prep plus all the other chores that come with living in Chilly Hollow.
Thanks, Jude Designs!
