Sunflower Fairy DMC Conversion

Recently I had my magazine out with my Sunflower Fairy in it. I had stitched this beautiful little girl for my mother in law for Christmas. She is a fast and easy stitch - but it calls for Valdani's and knowing how little she was I didn't want to invest in the Valdani's. I decided to do a DMC conversion - which I think turned out pretty good. So with that said, I wanted to post my conversion so it doesn't get "lost" in my computer some where.

 

 

Valdani - DMC

 

M49 = 945

M81 = 742 
M90 = 801
O510 = 975
O519 = 3012
O521 = 3685

O526 = 935
v1 = 722/742 blend (the 722 was too orange on its own)
v4 = 780

 

I didn't like her skin backstitched in brown so I used 3371 however, any peachy colour darker than 945 would do.

 

KRENIK:
I used Krenik 014  as called for

It asked for 018 (Navy) for backstitching but I chose Krenik 850 (left overs from Adia)

BEADS:

40332 Emerald petite = I used 03055

42011 Victorian Gold petite  = used 02011 (Victorian Gold - not petite)
42030 Victorian Copper petite  = used 02019

Please note: now that I'm done I wished I had stiched the skin 1 over 1 - just a suggestion!

 

It took me just over a week to stitch her - she is small and fun. It was the first Mirabilia I ever gave away. Here is the finished product all framed up!
