Yes, I wanted to make the wise men have richer looking clothes - hence the
purple, and gold in them. The Virgin Mary is often depicted with blue and
rose garments - sometimes white, but I was trying also to get a balanced
effect in the piece.
I also used some slubby silk threads in the meadows and these were brighter
greens than the thread used in the original, so I had to change the other
greens. I used some fluffy threads for the sheep (which didn't work as well
as I'd hoped - probably too many pairs in them, but the sheep were worked
early on when I was still getting a feel for the number of pairs to use to
fill each space)
