I am leaning towards Sea glass, but I would consider "Beach Glass" but only because I fell in love with this poem, which I first read in one of English Comp classes:
But anyway, I absolutely LOVE how this colorway turned out! I think it is really gorgeous!
I'm glad that I did quite a few of them, because I expect it to be "hit"
The motif is done in Sea glass, or Beach glass, I will let you my comment-ers decided democratically the official name. I used size 20 because I had a sample skein, and since it was a sample skein, it dried first. I couldn't wait to try this one out!
The pattern was going to be this one:free-tatting.com
But, I got anxious to show it already, so I cut all the stitch counts in half and didn't finish the square... instead, I just left it as a triangle/ Christmas tree shape. lol
Anyway, it's 2 AM here, so I better get to bed. Expect this colorway in the shop later today. I will wait for all of them to dry properly before taking an offical photo. :o)
Oh, but before I head up, I guess I should mention this,
I added these to the shop the other day:
It's another Messy Jess!y, except I wasn't overly excited about how this one turned out. Some of them are green and red, and others are just red and a bronze type color. Of course, I accidentally picked one of the red/ bronze ones for myself. I didn't care for it. So, I tried to separate all the red and bronze ones out and I have only listed the ones that are green and red. I will be doing another batch of red and green. I want a "Grinch-ilicious" with a bright red and a chartreuse or lime and white. I think that will be fun!
Oh I like the idea and look of the red and bronze. Sea glass is just right for the name as that's the colour you see in glass that's been in the sea for ages. I love picking up those pieces when I'm at the seaside.
ReplyDeleteWonderful colour! I think sea glass, I would think that beach glass would have some brown or yellow in it? But we don't mind what you call it!!
ReplyDeleteI think sea glass would be perfect.

Sea Glass - because it makes me think of a broken old green bottle washed up on the sand.
ReplyDeleteSea Glass - definitely! What a gorgeous colorway!
ReplyDeleteI vote for sea glass, gorgeous colors!
ReplyDeleteSea Glass. Beautiful colorway. Reminds me a little of being deep in the woods with the foliage.
ReplyDeleteYour blue/green is fabulous!!! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I like the motif!! :)
Oh, and the Messy Jess!y reminds me of garden fresh rhubarb!! :)
Wonderful colours both! Sea glass is perfect.

Thanks everyone! I looks pretty unanimous, Sea Glass it is. It's listed now. :o)
ReplyDeleteSue, rhubarb, huh? I've never had rhubarb. I don't think I've even ever seen it, I will look it up. If they sold it at my grocery store, I would have seen it. When Livi was a baby, I made her food and tried just about every veggie and fruit that the grocery stores around her offer. :o)
Her favorites were beets and rutabaga. :o)
Oh gorgeousness! I have to say that I am also in love with the idea of red and bronze thread! The seaglass in spectacular!
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing! I'd love to get one of these with the "new" Mother of Pearl you mentioned earlier. You are breaking the bank with your amazing colors!
ReplyDeleteI don't think there's anything wrong with red and bronze! It would be more of an autumn look instead of a Christmas look.
ReplyDeleteGiven a choice between 2 names, I go with the shorter one (less to write :-) So, I vote for Sea Glass. Colors are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI like Sea Glass too. as for Rhubarb, the red and green or even the red and bronze would work. some rhubarb is very red, some is very green and some is combinations. I grow it, cook it, freeze it, and even mail some to my daughter in texas. your climate is too warm to grow it, it needs a rest period below 40degrees for an extended period of time. you might find it in your grocery frozen section.
ReplyDeleteSea Glass, definitely. You've captured the shades of green and blue perfectly. Love the Messy Jess!y, too. I see nothing wrong with how it turned out. It kind of reminds me of brass with a soft patina.
ReplyDeleteI love this new colorway! I'd vote for Sea Glass. It's really cool! I'm sure it'll be a hit.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes.
