Day 18 (30 posts about anything at all)

I've been working steadily of the Needlepoint Pattern of Doom (a.k.a. Candace Bahouth's Medieval Unicorn).  Several hours a night. 
Once I got my head around the design, it's been easy.

At the moment, I'm filling in the ground-colour and find I'm rather in love with the white tracery where the leaves and branches will go.
I will be quite sad when I have to fill them in with colour.

You could always fill the leaves and flowers in with a cream color...or an even paler green.

I may do that if I decide to re-visit this design.
For now, I'm fairly content stitching according to pattern. It's teaching me loads about the way colours complement each other.

If I ever stich this design with cream-coloured leaves, I'll also change the colours of the flowers and border.
