Zodiac chart freebie by Ellen Maurer-Stroh [2/12]


I finished my Dimensions kit about two weeks ago, and have since been working on the Zodiac chart freebie provided so generously by Ellen Maurer-Stroh. I am using DMC threads on 14 count navy Aida by Charles craft.

I did make two colour changes to the original design. The royal blue threads that form the background for the zodiac signs, I replaced with very dark violet, and the dark royal blue forming in the rings I replaces with pewter. The end result is that impression of the night sky seen from in between metal grills. I quite like the effect.

At present I have completed Capricorn and Aquarius. I am now working on Pisces.
