5 stylish ladies II

I've spent my free time at the shop this past week stitching frantically on the lady in the upper right-hand corner of the canvas.  (My nightly stitching is a tote bag that I'll tell you more about when I make enough progress to make a discussion worthwhile.)  All stitching is using 4-plies of Splendor

The only stitching I did on the face was the outline.  I lightened the tone of the outline somewhat.  All of the features are going to be basketweave, so I feel I can save them until the end--that's how I am rationalizing that I didn't get to them.  The hair I did in the Encroaching Gobelin.

The collar is the Mosaic in a brighter shade of green than was painted.   Her jacket is done in the Diagonal Triple Parisian. 

For her beret, I stitched the background in basketweave and added dots in a variation of the Raised Maltese Cross.  The ribbons (or feathers?) were stitched in the Diagonal Mosaic.  Notice that I moved some of the dark purple motifs to make them fit the stitch pattern.  Fortunately I used enough plies of Splendor that there wasn't a shadow of the purple that I covered up with the white. 

Also, if you look closely you'll see that I stitched the background areas to the bottom left of her (Gigi) head  in the basketweave.  I decided that life was too short to try to count the Byzantine Scotch stitch in those tiny areas.

I think I'd accomplish more stitching if I didn't spend so much time admiring what I've stitched!

Next I'm going to work on Mimi, the grey-haired lady on the bottom right.
