I haven't taken him out of the hoop yet and cleaned up my marks. By the way I am really digging my fabric pencils that I found at the fabric store. The marks disappear with just a bit of water, and I can edit as I go.
This is the most fun I've had with embroidery. I had a great time changing my stitches every few minutes and playing with the shading.
As soon as I finished, however, I felt this terrible emptiness, and struggled to start the next piece. It took a whopping total of 10 hours to make this, and I started three audiobooks that can be found in my 'currently reading' list on Goodreads. I have discovered that I am not complete unless I am in the middle of
* a good book
* at least two good audiobooks
* composing a few poems
* an embroidery project
When I was cross stitching I felt the same. I had piles of cross stitch patterns I created and only half were done to completion.
ReplyDeleteI love this. Way cool.
Please cross stitch again.
