Buckled Up


One down, eleven more to go. My only hope is that the stitch guides get better. The actual stitching wasn't difficult, though several of the fibers tended to shred a lot. I've decided I don't like Gold Rush. The sparkly allows the underlying white to show through too much, too easily. I'll be waiting to finish this into something when the other eleven are done.

This looks great. The white doesn't look obvious at all but if you are worried about the others - have you thought about spray painting the canvas first? It works well in hiding the white canvas.

Thanks! It isn't the canvas coverage that I mean about the Gold Rush, it's the fiber itself. If you look at the middles of the squiggles, that's Gold Rush, and you can see where the metallic pulls away from the fiber core.

I am not familiar with this thread but I did a little research and there are some tips about using Gold Rush on the Rainbow Gallery website which might be useful. Good luck with the rest of the buckles!
