I have been working on the potion bottles. It is taking me forever to get them the way I like them. I’m backstitching as I go, but not sure if I like the outline colour. I tried DMC 762, but I couldn’t see the lines very well, so I frogged all the backstitching. This is them now with DMC 168 (it is a darker grey), not sure if I like it either. Still can’t see the shapes very well. I was hoping to get away from using black/3371 like I have in all of the other chapters. Also not sure if I should fill in the empty space at the tops of each bottle with a light grey (762 or 168), then I can outline the bottle with a darker grey or black etc. Let me know what you think. I don’t mind frogging to make it perfect.
The whole project.
I spend yesterday colouring, it was so relaxing. This is the page I coloured because it is now cold and the leaves are all starting to change colours.

The block is looking good, I would use a darker backstitch for the bottles myself.
