SYOA - Chapter 4 - drinks - update #16

I completed the Butterbeer glass and started working on the brick wall in the background.

The Butterbeer glass is  about 99% done.  I have a few stitches missing in the foam floating on top and on the base of the glass.  Then of course the backstitching the liquid inside the glass.

Yesterday, I started stitching the Butterbeer glass.  I’m about half way finished.  I love how this looks with all of the other items.  Every bottle and glass are all so different.  I hope to have this chapter done by the end of August, so I can start the next chapter on time.  I think I have time, but I will need to stitch a little bit each day.  I still have the chocolate frog and Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans to stitch and plus I have the background (brick wall and window) to do before it is complete.

I just finished backstitching the word Butterbeer on the label. I tried it in a yellow as charted, but it was not clear enough. I even tried 2 strands of floss.  Then decided to use 1 strand of black and I’m happy with it.

Here is the label up close.

Here is the whole bottle.

I’m almost finished with all of the cross stitching on the Butterbeer bottle.  I have 1 or 2 more rows to stitch at the bottom of the bottle, then backstitching on the inside of the bottle and label.  Now that I have stitched the Butterbeer green label, peppermint toad and cherry stem all in dark greens I’m thinking I might frog the umbrella and use the same colour greens on that to balance out that side.  The umbrella is looking all washed out with the lighter greens.
