V is for Verigated
Topic: A to Z challenge round 3

I chose to stitch this house using verigated threads to see if it gave more dimension to it. I think it does but I would do a couple of things differently in the future: 1) choose threads that are less similar for the various parts - for this I used a rose, pink, and violet. Their light tones are too similar. 2) only use the darker parts of the thread. Where these fade out to white they are almost lost and every one looks the same.

The thread used for the bushes and the stairs are both a duo-twist thread where two colors are wound together. On the bushes it looks speckled and on the stairs the strokes are so short you can't see any color variation!

I DO like the pattern though!
