Now, this is probably just me, but I find that BP's face, that high forehead, her colours, the fabric, all add to give her a slightly eerie feeling. My brother says she looks unearthly. I even had the notion that she could be the wicked sea witch to my more innocent MotDB...

Total time 62 hours
She has an insane amount of bling. I used everything as recommended except I switched out the (too expensive) gold beads for some I had in my stash.
When she first came out, I was bothered by her forehead and the border. I have moved beyond the forehead, but I still dislike the border. Also, my other mermaids are free floaters, so she fits in better by herself.
I think the sea pegasi are cute, and I'd love to stitch them separately some other time.
Something quite 'magical' about her appearance.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Bluebeard! Love all the bling!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with both you and brother. Perfect description.

She is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAll those beads make her sparkle as if she just came out of the water.
Gorgeous finish, congratulations!
ReplyDeleteJust stunning!!!
ReplyDeleteShe is fabulous. A lot of loving stitches went into that one. Congrats on another great finish!
ReplyDeleteOne word: WOW!!!
ReplyDeleteShe's awesome, congratulations!
ReplyDeleteYes those gold beads were too expensive. I went ahead and bought them, but I have made a point of trying to use up the leftovers on other projects.
ReplyDeleteShe turned out great! I think part of her eerieness is the contrast between her pink skin and that technicolor hair of hers.
Regardless - the stitching is beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteWOW! She is really awesome. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful stitching ,you are very talented!
ReplyDeleteI just have started to practice how to add some pearls to a stitched piece.
