Happy Dancing! Blackwork Unicorn Finished Stitching

I actually finished Blackwork Unicorn from Dragon Dreams awhile ago (at the end of February), but we got the evil stomach flu and then I got my new computer and I was having a bit of a hard time getting the camera to play nice with the computer settings. I finally got it all figured out and got all my pictures uploaded, so here we go!

Fabric, Thread, Supplies and Other Tidbits

Fabric: 25 count light blue evenweave that I pulled from way in the bottom of my stash. It’s actually NOT a hand dyed. I decided the pretty blue Belfast linen that I had pulled wasn’t quite big enough, I needed a little more space.

Threads:

  • Horn: DMC 729
  • Eye: DMC 500 ~ I improvised that she would have green eyes
  • Mane: DMC 3041
  • Head/Body: DMC 646

Thank you for following along on my latest projects with me!
Happy Stitching!

P.S. Did I tell you how geeked I was that Jennifer Aikman Smith commented on my Fairy Tale Sampler happy dance? Totally GEEKED!

      This finish is actually from a few years ago, but it was one of my favorites! 🙂
