Some blue in the mix

Tonight, I first laid in two strands of the new DMC Sparklers in the Blue used in the bottom right burst. You can see it on the left side of the top spray. I then came back and filled in more of the middle spray with the silver Gold Rush. I did it this way as I want the blue to be very faint and not on top of the silver. Since my drawing lines are very close, I figured this would be the best way to work and I will continue to work this way all around the spray.

Again - this is amazing! That blue thread is really pretty, and very effective used here.

I agree. The thread is lovely and looks great all by itself as sparks thrown out by the explosions.
