Autumn Mermaid

I love the deep colors of this design, which I do associate with Autumn.  And I took a bit of artistic license with the flamingo - juvenile flamingos are white and they've always felt a bit "spooky" to me.  But there's nothing sinister about this design - it's just a celebration of sea life (real and imagined) in lovely fall colors.

The model is stitched on 40 count "Midnight Ride" linen from xJudesign.  The model is trimmed with Sequoia chenille and cucumber velveteen, both from Lady Dot Creates.

NOTE - if you have an early version of this chart there is an error in the page 6 design (the turtle).  The original copy calls for DMC 3857 rather than GA Tortoise Shell in the turtle.  The model is stitched with the GA thread.
