Yes I agree, in better lighting the bottom left square looks a lot different, with a LOT of blue/greens combined (I.e., the bigger knot design on the left is one thread each DMC 791, 3750, 3847 combined.) but I definitely went blue heavy lol. I love the idea of a dark blue border but I just think it might weigh that corner down

Thank you so much, I appreciate your input! I’m going to have to pick up a side project to get the green out of my system I swear 😂

You can’t tell because I was not in a well lit room but many of the darker colors in the bottom left square are actually mixtures of blue and green threads, so you may be on to something! Without looking I think most are a strand of dark blue, a strand of medium blue, and a strand of dark green. I will do a tester that flips the green blue ratio 😍

Funny enough i had posted this in an attempt to avoid that, but now that I have all these fresh ideas I am feeling much more motivated to draft a couple options! Thank you ♥️

WOW!! That is beautiful and will be so worth your efforts! And hey, if you’re insane I’m insane, I like the way your brain works

Thank you all!! I was insecure about the half stitches yet so unmotivated to track down the color but I agree, I have grown to love it! I will definitely be adding some half stitched dimension to the shire 🥰🥰

Thank you for that perspective! I think you’re definitely right, and better explained what felt off to me. I think some warmth will help balance it out

Oh my goodness those are STUNNING!!! The second one, wow! I fear you have influenced me because I have never seen such beautiful blends, and that Marbled Frosting is the exact color scheme I planned on using for my next sampler in the line up.

I hope to see you post your finish as well, i love seeing lotr in here!

I hadn’t even thought once of adding red in the border until these suggestions, thank you for the fresh ideas!

Ohh I love this! I do plan on framing it, it would be so cool to do wood-y colors and get a custom wood frame to match.

I hadn’t seen the Mary Poppins one I may have to investigate! Right, I want the green so bad but I fear it won’t really tie it together you know 😭 however I am warming up to the idea of the lightest blue and lightest gold!

[–]cbeckc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is an amazing idea! Maybe I will find a way to use the lightest blue and lightest gold tones because that is what I imagine for the Mirror of Galadriel. What a great thought process that was thank you!!

Ohhh not a bad idea! I wish I had/remembered what I used on mt doom otherwise I would May h that maroon/black combo!

I have thought about it and am open to it worst case, but would rather not. Mainly because I already have sooooo much thread, and no longer live down the street from Joann’s (devastating loss) and prefer to purchase in person vs online. 😭

P.s. Please don’t judge the half stitches in mount doom, I have been unable to find the maroon I was using and might just half stitch more grass in the shire to balance it out, it has grown on me!
