Embroidered Shawl Update

Thank you all who selected their favorite embroidery choices in the previous post. Since I already loved #3 and several of you like it as well, that is the one I’m going to work from. #3 is a nice balance of floral and paisley.
I’ve blown up the image and sketched out the design. (You’ll see a rejected larger cone motif on the right.) The wool is thin enough to see the illustration through. This will make tracing the design on to the wool to follow fairly easy. I just need to decide whether to trace out the enirety or the major lines then section by section. I’m leaning towards the latter.
For colors, I am thinking a duo or trio of greens and blues. Since the original is red, I may use a brown instread of the pale yellowish color for the vining bits. I may also accent with a red yet to be determined. I don’t know if the brown should be reddish or something paler. We shall see.
