Finish

Benezet Alphabet
Cross Stitch Antiques

Width was changed, border was changed, bottom row was changed to date and doodads, colors were changed. 
 Routine for me.

A bag finish, leather strip at bottom, leather strap, holding turkey and pheasant feathers?

We'll see!

The dye blend on this was Rit taupe with a touch of Marigold.  The gold is quite strong so very little is needed.

It's really pretty and wonder if there will be a change in your finish without leather.
Take care, Truus from Holland

Just returning from a trip to Country Sampler...I don't think I find even as much inspiration there as I do in your finishes. Love everything about this and your changes. ~Robin~
