Ark races - second leg

I'm not sure how clearly you can see this, but I have tried two different threads for the same stitch.  One of them will be ripped out....  One side is Trebizond in the perfect colors, but I don't like the loft or the sheen.  One could argue that the roof of the Ark is wet and therefore shiny, but I want a somewhat more rustic finish.  I switched to 2 strands of Soy Luster which I love.  The strands lay perfectly flat, the color works and the roof doesn't overwhelm the windows.

Now back to the Ark race!

Why don't you frame the stitches with a metallic to show some wet sparkle. I happen to like the Soy Luster myself. It does lay flatter and looks a lot neater.

I also like the Soy Luster, you see the difference in shading more. And it looks more like wood -- ark!!!!
