Grapevine Wreath Sunflower

Focus on texture and color.

DMC perle 5.   Colors 420 brown, 922 rust, 743 yellow.

I may look for some Autum-like narrow ribbon at the craft store.  Perhaps the wreath needs a ribbon and bow...

 Adding the red next.

I started with 1 1/8" plastic ring - which was challenging.

Changed to regular 1 1/8" ring - which was easier (for me).
