Ornamentations (noun): 2. That in which the process of ornamenting is embodied; the ornaments which adorn a thing collectively; ornament in general
Or, in music, the grace notes that embellish a melodic line.
Holiday kits are available at katie-strachan.com/shop
EDIT 12/13: Silk wrapped purl finishing kits are back in stock and available at the link above.
And my tutorial is here: youtu.be/MykPnuTwra4
International customers please note that international orders are held for shipment until January 1
Cardinal Kin: I have opened a waiting list, which you can sign up for here: katie-strachan.com/kin
Queen Anne's Pyn Pillow is sold out. If you would like to be notified if the class runs again, you can sign up here: katie-strachan.com/pyn-pillow
The ornaments with my sparkling silk wrapped edging are all motifs from Modern Folk Embroidery's chart Through the Bitter Frost and Snow
The coordinating Bijoux color to the finishing pack is Malachite - the Attic and Needle in a Haystack both stock Bijoux, as well as many other needlework stores
I also showed Renaissance Gold on 38 count Legacy Linen Wayfarer's Cloak, and Bijoux White Gold Glint on Legacy Linen 38 count Druid Blue
Stacy Nash Deck the Halls pinkeep:
As stitched, Soie Surfine on 45 count Hazy Summit, although any combination of a good red and green Gobelins or 100/3 from past kits (similar colors are in Cardinal Kin and Noah's Christmas Ark II) could be used on 38 count Himalayan Fog
Soie Surfine: 2099, 2303, 2681, 2707, creme
Bijoux White Gold Glint
Embellished with Miyuki 15/0 silver lined brick red seed beads, 15-1420 and River Silks 7mm ribbon, color #70
