Colours I prefer to work in are more earthy, light delicate tones. Rather than vibrant bold colours. Thats why at present, I'm preferring the back of this sample to the front. I used pipe-cleaners in order to give me a steady edge to join the stitch together, this started out as what i thought a pretty ingenious idea. However 6 broken needles later and the fear of one hitting me in the eye, i decided it probably wasn't!
