Redwork revisited.
I could not leave the design alone and added some colour. The pastels did not photograph so well in the late afternoon light, in real life the are a bit brighter and the background is white. leaving out all but the last colour gives the redwork design.

18031That is really nice, Mrs. M. Delicate, light and airy (wouldn't expect anything else from a fairy), it's almost floating. And I love the colours.

157116122She is beautiful. I like using Redwork for the same reasons as you (low stitch, fast result) I have been using them for cards, on paper with an iron-on tear-away (which is left on). Then take a colouring pencil and do a little highlighting, such as you have done with thread.

I won't say great minds think alike, but I do agree they often ask for a bit of colour. And I also stitch them on cards.

Oh, thank you. I love redwork for its fast results and low stitch count. However, I mostly used it for my grands' colouring books with the special pens. Now that they are getting too old I thought I'd better start colouring myself.
