Stitching - Continued

[annuin]

Tuesday night I finished part 3 of my St. Petersburg chart.

Time consuming with all the backstitching on the wrought iron gates, but it's taking shape nicely.

Once again the pictures don't necessarily show everything quite true to colour, being that they were taken with the camera flash and indoor halogen lighting, rather than natural light. It's washing out the colours somewhat, unfortunately.



And one with more detail, you can see the Algerian eyelets and (two-tone) Rice stitches here in the part 2 I stitched:

That sounds incredible. :)

My mother was the one working on black - well, my grandmother tried one too but it didn't work out so well. They both have lights and mirrors and wee cross stitch lap stands, but while mum's tiger-on-black turned out amazing my grandmother only has one eye and poor sight in that one to boot.

I'm pants at craft, but it does look very nifty.

Well, the upside to this is that you don't have to come up with anything yourself, so no creativity required, just time and effort ;)

It's a bit like painting by numbers I guess, lol.
