New Start - Tiramisu GCC

I'm so behind! I think this is due in two months and I'm just starting it. It's a relatively new correspondence course called Tiramisu and I'm taking it through the Cyberstitchers Chapter of the EGA. I've decided to try out the soy luster, since I was given some as a gift. The color shown in this picture is Egyptian Lapis. I'll be using a Needle Necessities overdyed, too. Fabric is 32 count Meditation from Picture This Plus. Hopefully, it'll all mesh together well. The floss toss looks good, and the stitching is turning out okay, even if I did have to rip out the beginning of the second sea monster - I put it two stitches too far from the first. That's done now and the first band is actually almost done! The piece is all reversible blackwork. I'm not having too much trouble with it yet, but I haven't used the overdyed yet.

Meg,
I look forward to watching yours develop, especially with the overdye! Tiramisu was a lot of fun to stitch. Are you doing it with the CyberStitchers chapter (as I am)?

Wow, if I had actually read the post thoroughly, my question would have been answered. Sorry! I was enjoying the picture - my sea serpents were done in such a pale color that I couldn't see them clearly!

I am, but I'm in the group that started last. I'm also going to be in Group 2 of the Swiss Sampler, which is going to be the only one I sign up for this year ... I promised myself!
