She Stoops to Conquer: An Anne Stradal design


This is another project that I have been working on and a fun one at that. It is called "She Stoops to Conquer" designed by Anne Stradal from ABS Designs.
.
This is a little painted canvas size 4 inches by 6 inches (stitched area). So far, I have stitched the upper wallpaper, the upper part of our little lady (grinning) and the interior border. Oh yes, almost forgot the "She Stoops to Conquer" all stitched in black.
.
I have a couple of ideas about how I want to stitch the towel that is covering her, but will need to try a few things and see how it looks.
.
I think that I will do her hair curly just like Anne did on hers, as I love to do French knots.
.
I am picking the colors as I go along. I rarely decide the exact colors before I start working on something like this, as most often than not, I have to change them anyway as they don't work like I had hoped they would.
.
I now need to start working on Mystery in a Corner.

I really like this! Are you going to use any brighter colors? These days, I'm all about lots of saturated color! Also, your mystery color is beautiful.

Marsha,

I have not quite made up my mind on the specific colors that I will be using. I make each decision as I go along.

Terry,

I will either finish this one as a flat-fold or make a fabric frame. Will decide when I get there :-)
