Mirabilia Designs #128: Red WIP stitched by Bren Bowene. Pattern designed by Nora Corbett.
Making good progress on Red conversion! Started on 9-23-23, stitched on Fabric Flair Forest. I always pictured Red with a wolf by her side--happy I finally got some time to get her going.
I wanted the wolf to be looking back and I couldn't find the right pattern, so I made this wolf by combining a lot of ideas. I picked the thread colours to match the fabric. He was a challenge and took me almost a month to figure out but I love how he turned out. I pretty much freehanded it. I couldn't find what I wanted in one pattern, so I took ideas from a lot of wolf pictures.
It is a Fabric Flair fabric, 28 linen, that I bought thru Stitchery Express. many years ago. Not sure of the name but has the word "Forest" in it if that helps.

Mirabilia Designs #2: Fairy Moon stitched by Lani Glass. Pattern designed by Nora Corbett.
“Fairy Moon finished at last! Had to rechart the moon a bit to cover a repaired rip in the fabric which is a bit less visible in real life - what can you do though! I wasn't giving up this late in the game 😅
Fabric: Zweigart Brittney evenweave 28 count navy blue - hand painted with a sheet silver paint (with fabric medium) and glitter
Changes made: added Kreinik blending filament to wings, backstitched her arm/hand, added lipstick, lipliner and blush, volumized her lashes, added shading to her eye, softened her nose.
Started: 1/1/2019, worked on between projects throughout the year, worked on mostly monogamously since mid Jan this year.
She reminds me a lot of Sarah in Labyrinth 😍”

My final finish for 2023: Day Nymph by Mirabilia. Everything is called for except I did a skin conversion. I LOVE her!!! She’s smaller than typical Miras but what she lacks in size, she makes up for in a BUTT TON OF BEADS. 😂 Love!!!! 🤩🤩🤩

Mirabilia Designs #78: Royal Holiday stitched by Kelley Phillips Shields. Pattern designed by Nora Corbett.
I finished Royal Holiday, just in time to miss the Christmas 2023 season! 😆 I chose this 32-ct linen (PTP Gingerbread) but when I got it, it was darker and more saturated than I thought it would be. It turned the original charted colors [of her dress & skintones, specifically] almost gray, blah and flat. Her skintones became ruddy and dull. So I converted those original colors to warm gold & brighter tones. I want to keep her on my wall year-round so this vintage-y fabric helps mute the "Christmas picture" feel.
I also changed:
— the greenery to darker colors and used brighter beads
— adjusted her facial features a bit and made her more bold. Stitched 2-over-one tent stitch
— all of the Mill Hill beads were converted to Delica beads and I added a few MH treasures
— changed out the charted DMC + Kreinik swirls in her dress to all Delica beads. The beads added bling and depth to her gorgeous gown!
— I changed the candle and ribbon to red, beaded the flame and added a bead halo
— used Preciosa Crystals as jewels for her earring, cape and fur trim on the bottom
— I stitched the Wisper white using 2-over-2 tent stitch and it was fast, with even coverage. It didn’t break, knot or get thin. It was fun to use and I’ll never shy away from it again!
I absolutely loved stitching Christmas Queen - Nora designed a true beauty with this one!

Mirabilia Designs #3: The Rose of Sharon stitched by marymoli_xstitch. Pattern designed by Nora Corbett.
I haven’t stitched for a long time and I was struggling to get excited with a project so I decided to rescue my “Rose of Sharon” from my stash and frog all the head and skin so I can do a conversion instead😊 This is my version of Rose of Sharon by Mirabilia, very happy of how it’s looking! ❤️
