For side two, I decided to use the darker red thread on the rose. I'm not totally happy with it- I might have preferred sticking with the "rosier" colors on side one. I also did the pink in shades of peach, which I do like. I also added a small hillock at the bottom of each side, for my plaited braid to "root" into. After examining some extant pieces in person at the Met, I might have made the hillock in shades of green, but I don't think it looks terrible. I suppose I could pull everything out, but that petit point is TINY, and I can always experiment on my next one. ;)
