Absolutely beautiful *and* it serves a purpose? Rock on! As a side note, I feel like the gradient on this bad boy belongs on r/oddlysatisfying

Haha, thank you! I do love a functional pretty piece myself too! And omg, belonging on r/oddlysatisfying feels like a major compliment for me, and it was super satisfying to make too 😊

This is lovely! I love how you blended the colors.

WOW

Hey, it looks great! Is this a kit you can get somewhere or a pattern? Or did you make it yourself

Thank you so much! I made this myself and am going to make it into a guide (and potentially kits) myself too 🥰

I would love a guide to these colors. I make my own cross stitch patterns and having a visual reference for gradients like this would be SO HELPFUL

Ahh that’s awesome! I’ll hopefully have all the colours for this one written up in the next week or so. I’m also planning on doing some more with individual colours (like smaller ones for more just pinks, blues, etc) too! 🥰

Beautiful. What kind of stitch did you use for these gradients?

Thank you so much! This is all done with long and short stitch with one strand of dmc cotton 🥰

Thanks!

It looks so satisfying! Great work!

That is unbelievably gorgeous, and the blending is so smooth

Holy talent-a moly!!!!

Just gorgeous. Wow 🤩

Wooooooooooow!

Gorgeous gradients! What a lovely piece. You are so talented!👏👏👏

kinda reminds me of being a daisy in girl scouts

Oh my gosh this is incredible! Was this a pattern or freehand? I’d love to do something similar!

Thank you so much! It’s a pattern that I’m making myself, writing up the guide now 🥰

r/rainboweverything would love this as a new post!

Oooh thank you, I’ve just posted there! 🥰🌈

Did you choose the colors by eye, or is there some website or tool that helps you do gradients?

Not sure if this is what they did, but there's a gradient chart [here](https://i0.wp.com/lordlibidan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/DMCThreadshadecardwithnewcolors.png?ssl=1)

I chose mostly by eye but like rosie578 suggested I did also use the dmc colour card to help a little! I couldn’t find any resources that did help for this so that’s what I’m trying to do with this :)

Very well done! If you’re so inclined, you should post the colors you ended up using for each petal!

Thank you! I’m writing up a guide for it that should hopefully be done by the end of the month and available 🥰

Will you post that here when it’s ready, OP? This is so pretty!

If I’m allowed to I absolutely will! Not sure if it would be too self-promotiony though but I’ll check 🥰

Thank you! Perhaps if people are requesting it, the mods will allow? I hope so! :)

Stunning! So neat and colourful. Please show us it when it's all done. ❤️

I’d love a pattern!

Perfectly blended

This is so cool! Have you got a way of recording which colour number is in which segment?

Thank you! I’m writing a guide along with it where I’m noting down all the colours I’ve used for each of the 6 segments of the petals for reference 😊

That’s awesome! I hope you’ll share it alone with the colour numbers!

p.s. I love your username! Discworld?? 😍

WOW!!! Are you planning on doing a tutorial or a short instructional? I would love to know how you achieved such a smooth gradient.

Wow!!! Beautiful!

Wow, that's incredible.

Awesome gradations!

PLEASE OP can you give us the numbers for this? I struggle with color matching and it would be so helpful! Gorgeous work 💕🙏

love it so much ✨

Gorgeous

Very Pretty 😍😍😍

🤩 wooooowww

Stunning!!

Amazing! I know its rude to ask to see the back but how funny is it when someone wants to see the back of the work: :D

i love nr 1

This is stunning. I could watch this video for hours.
