In the words of Lauren, Eenie won. I thought color planning would be a breeze since I'd be following the original antique colors somewhat. Didn't want the horse pink but wanted it to have an appearance of perhaps poke berry dyed wool, which this isn't either. But in person under the OTT light it started looking too garish to me. Yet here in the photo it looks okay.
Decided to hook a tad more around the horse before pulling out any loops and being sorry. This is what it looks like now.
On top of what had already been hooked on the horse I placed slightly more brownish wool strips to see if that would be better. Not sure that made any difference. Placed some wool at the scroll, pre-testing before hooking. Perhaps I should just keep hooking more background and a scroll before ripping out anything. Afterall, there is still plenty of area to hook and keep me entertained.
Thunderstorm came thru so am hoping the extreme heat and humidity will be a thing of the past. Oh, today I received an order for my Mache' Jacks pattern. Me thinks that young lady is hoping it will invite cooler temperatures her way sooner than later. Glad she didn't order a snowman pattern, lol.

Off to yet another great start!
