Hi y'all! This is probably the most complex (multiple shades of similar colors, etc) pattern I've ever done. I used to stitch as a teen, then again in my 20s, and now I'm 49 and back at it again! Lol I fell in love with this pattern by Juko Patterns, and decided it would be a Kentucky State Fair entry! (This also put a deadline on me, so I actually finished it!) I did leave out some of the details from the pattern because I liked the more clean, streamlined look. I also edited the top scroll to be more uniform as well. Oh! And I added the sparkly red to the blood drip, extending to the letters. 🧛🏻‍♀️ Anyway, I absolutely love it! I painted an old ugly gold frame flat black, then used Dragon Glaze paint to get the shimmery blue/purple. Then I touched it up with silver mica powder! All-in-all, I'm really really happy with it and excited to see if I win anything!
