Some members of my ANG Keystone Garden Chapter wanted to stitch this for a project this year. So, I wrote up the directions and made up diagrams that they could follow. I am restitching it to see if I can improve it.
Instead of using a blue Copic marker and clear Water n’ Ice for the water in the river, I switched to the blue Water ‘n Ice (WT2).
And, instead of Splendor and Pebbly Perle for the crescents, I am using Shades of Africa Two Oceans, Au Ver a Soie, hand-dyed by Chameleon Threads. The packet has 5 wonderful shades of blue that blend smoothly. I stitched the water first with the crescents placed on top. The darker crescents are on the bottom this time and they are a little smaller this time. I made sure the threads are not showing through this time by using away knots for each crescent.
Also, the overall design shape will be rectangular instead of square.
