Zehrina

Today I stitched her face, neck, arms and nails. Mostly Splendor except her nails which are Kreinik and her lips are Patina.

Next up!

Zehrina is by Leigh Designs #5136 and she is one from the series Ladies of the Night. I have previously stitched Circe from Witchy Women and Morgana from Ladies of the Night as well. Circe was stitched for Leigh and they have this one, but I have Morgana and the fam all want her. So I am stitching Zehrina to reduce the battle over the pieces amongst the girls. I may have to stitch a few more to alleviate a brawl! I am off to pull threads!
