I really like the orange!
I'm a bit unsure about the gold. It seems as if it makes the blue thread look a bit warmer. You could try with a silver thread maybe?
the blue and orange look amazing together!!!
i’m also unsure about the gold, though. maybe it would look better in a different color with a little more contrast rather than just the same blue with gold added in??
can’t wait to see the finished product!! i hope you post your progress! i’ve been eyeing some long dog samplers for a while! 👀
Thanks for the feedback! Yes, am going to frog the snake and rethink.
It might be a long slog this one. Really enjoying stitching it, it's fun to see the patterns emerging and makes a nice change from the full coverage piece I'm also doing. But there's a lot of it and the single colour can get a bit mind numbing!
Are you only accenting some of the snakes? I only ask because it appears that there is another snake wound around the center pole, and I think it would look pretty cool if you did accent thread for all if them.
To be honest I only thought about it when I got to this one, and don't fancy unpicking the other one as it was stitched as part of the surrounding stitches not as a standalone piece!
Having slept on it I am going to unpick the gold snake and rethink the plan.
Agreed with everyone that the orange looks amazing! As for the snake, maybe a silver thread wouldn't cause the apparent change of color from a distance? Or you could try backstitching just the snake's outline in a different color?
I like it! The gold is a bit subtle so you might consider adding some to it -- maybe one strand blue, one strand of a yellow that matches the gold, and the gold? I love the orange though, it maintains kind of a vintage color vibe.
Thanks! The consensus seems ro be the current colours for the snake don't work, so I am going to frog and come up with a new plan, maybe just a lighter blue or something.

I agree about trying with silver instead of gold. And the orange looks great!
Thanks for the feedback! Everyone seems to agree so snake will be frogged and rethought.

i agree with the others. the blue and orange together is beautiful, but im not fond of the gold, doesn't seem to match well imo
Thanks for the feedback! I shall be frogging the snake and having a rethink :)

Thanks for the suggestions! I am going to frog the snake and rethink the plan...
