I thought that maybe a variegated silk ribbon with very short segments of white and pink would be great, but I have no such thing in my stash, neither have I overcome my dyeing phobia yet...
Pointing my finger to my temple to think, think, think, while holding one piece of pink and one of white ribbon in my other hand, it suddenly hit me: I could just as well try and thread my needle with two ribbons at the same time. It worked like a charm: as if I had a ribbon that was white on one side and pink on the other.
Here and there I stitched some more French knots with only one "strand" of white or pink ribbon.
Now to add all the cast on flowers to the lavender blue patch on the top, and while working on those, to get ideas for the paths and to decide about the extension of the wisteria...
Have a happy weekend, Everyone!

Sometimes does that happen. You think in a certain direction and suddenly you say: "why not....".
Thinking out of the box.
The two ribbond look beautiful together. The whisteria seems a bit heavy on the left side. Would it look better with smaller clusters?
Beautiful work - as always!
This is gorgeous!
Um lindo jardim de primavera.

I can hear your humming needles and the gears of your mind working!....
Ну очень красиво!!!
You may have invented a new technique! The 2 ribbon in the needle technique. It is looking so very nice and threading those to ribbons together was a stroke of genius!
