Just before Christmas I finished Mirabilia's 'Siren and the Shipwreck'. Here she is:
The fabric is 16 count Zweigart Aida Frenzy. This is my first time using hand dyed fabric. When I went to wash and iron it the fabric started discoloring the water. Thank goodness it did not discolor any of the thread. Here is a closer look at the beading on her.
The pattern called for Mill Hill bead 02098 (dark green from dorsal fin) on the bottom of her tail. Personally, I thought it made her tail look like it had green algae growing on it. Instead I used Mill Hill bead 00020 (navy blue that is used in her lower body). Now she is in line waiting to go to the frame shop, and I have started my first cross stitching of 2016.
