Gentle Greens

Post by Serinde »

I don't seem to have a thread for this, despite the fact I started it last summer (then put it away...). And now it's finished! For my great nephew (who's just 2... :oops: ). I did this on 28ct using Caron Watercolours and Wildflowers in Lime Ice (167) -- subtle creams, yellows and bluey-greens. A pleasure to work, and I'll never forget how to do a greek cross, that's for sure.
