I need some advice. I began this sheep mat in the fall at the N.Y. Sheep & Wool festival, and just picked it up again. I completed the swirly sheep, head and legs and liked it. I decided to do something in the background (hence the leaves) but didn't like them after doing them twice so the background will be one color. I chose the red plaids because they go well with the sheep...but now I can't see the sheep's legs. But I really like the red! And I'm getting near the border...more choices. Antique black looks nice, but gold might be nice too. As I look at the picture the golds on the right look too green.

LOVE your sheep rug! I think if you were to outline the legs with a lighter color they would be more visible against the red background! And I'm liking the antique black for your border.
ReplyDeleteWhat about a medium gray texture for the face and legs? It would pick up nicely the gray tones in the sheep's fleece.
ReplyDeleteI love sheep and this one is darling... I like the "gray" idea....and then you could keep the red and the legs would show up better! Thanks for coming by my blog...I appreciate it!
