An Exchange Start

The Brooke's Books Interactive group on Yahoo is having a spring exchange, and I am participating.  Here's the start of my exchange piece.  It's got no cross stitch, but is mainly satin and Algerian eye stitches.

Very lovely! Who designed it? What fibres are you using....c'mon, inquiring minds want to know!

The colors are gorgeous on this piece and I love the design also.

Thank you for sharing all the pictures of the Carnaval, they were gorgeous and I enjoyed looking at them. Looks like a lot of fun!

It's a French freebie from les fils de mimie (www.lesfilsdemimie.be) and was done originally in winter colors. I decided to use two DMC variations - 4060 and 4090 and two coordinating solids. I agree that the colors pop, moreso than I thought they would.

Thanks Missy for the Carnaval comment, too!
