Autumn Leaves Wedding Pillow - Numbering and Metallic Leaf Flecks
This is where we left off in part four of this series, the completed silk thread painting. Part five takes a brief look at the metallic work. I say brief as I, sadly, didn't take many WIP photos during this part.
I love metallic touches in my pieces and am a big fan of Kreinik threads. The numbering was done in copper coloured #8 fine braid in shade 021C, couched down with cord shade 021C.
Numerals complete and time to add a few metallic flecks to the leaves. These were the threads I chose from my collection of Kreinik Cords:

I love the touch of metallic thread.
Leaves and trees are my favourite subjects after beetles. You have done a wonderful job, love the colours and the metallic threads.

Your leaves are exquisite! Love the sparkle. Going to be a beautiful pillow!
Just the right finishing touch - a good choice of metallics there!
The metallic threads really do add an extra pop!
Thanks so much for linking up to last week's Stitchery Link Party. Aloha hugs!
