This is my first part of Papillon Creations new 24-part SAL, Castles in the Air. I am loving it already! I did make a couple of minor changes to lighten it up a bit, by using single threads on some specialty stitches calling for two, by leaving off the second step B of Motif 9 Smyrna crosses, and by adding the Light Peacock crystal bicone to the center rather than beads. I'm still not sure about the orange color in the four outside flowers, and may change it later....wait and see!
The fabric is Silkweaver's Morning Mist 32ct opalescent lugana. Threads and beads will be listed on the Gallery on the Papillon website shortly, or you can see them here. Scroll down a bit and you will see this same picture with the threads listed.
