Weekly WIPs
Jun. 8th, 2019 10:53 amOn the correct day this week. Between being on a weird day last week and me having a weird week this week, I didn't get much done at all. But it's still more than I expected, tbh.
First, the badge. I did an extra long stream yesterday, and tried to finish up the colour on this one during it. I came close, and then I got tired around the five hour mark and decided to bounce. But I finished the hair, and I love it. I forgot to adjust the colours in the dark part, but I'm not too fussed. It's so small, nobody will notice. Also so small that nobody will notice, but I am annoyed with is that the pink in her ears is a different shade to the pink on her tongue. I had to get a new skein of floss, because I knew I did not have enough to finish, and the dye lots were obscenely different. I also only have one skein remaining, so that's when I go online and find a cone. I looked everywhere I know to check, and could not find one. I might see if 123stitch can put in a custom order for me, but that sounds like hassle. It'll be easier to just buy a 12-pack I think.
The goat finally has some goat present! Since this piece is meant to be a colour test, I'm not changing any floss. What the chart says is what I'm using. After Kermit and the horses, I've been very confident in the greens, and have had no problems or complaints there. But I was a little worried when I got to his ear. There are two shades of pink, and one very purple lilac colour. I was thinking it was going to look awful, and on its own, it did. But next to those pinks and the two shades of brown that were supposed to be grey, it all looks just fine. Being all next to one another, the colours almost seem to blend together in a strange way. I also need to constantly remind myself that the lighting on this piece is deliberately weird, and that there are overlapping shadows and highlights that are changing everything. On its own, something may look really weird, but that will change in context. Kermit does the same thing, but since he's about 95% green you can't tell as much. Kermit's just green looking more green.
