I re-did the bud of “A Rose and Two Buds”
(The pic is a bit fuzzy)
This time I only used one thread of YLI, in contrast to the strawberry with metal return, where I used two :
It is (just) visible in the calyx of the bud that longer stretches of the gold passing are visible. The two objects are about the same size. About twice as much gold is visible (funnily enough).
I’m definitely not happy with YLI silk. It has a fuzzy appearance – maybe wear from passing over the gold passing – but I’ve noticed that it has this appearance in general.
That’s what you get for getting cheap silk.
