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:

I'm curious; how big exactly is the finished piece going to be? I'm presuming you can't resize it yourself, either, but then again I don't know the first thing about cross-stitch.

That is so beautiful! It's going to be so unbelievable when it's finished. :)

That's amazing. The only thing I know about cross stitch is that it's bloody hard to do it on dark fabric, but other than that it's just wow. :) How big is it? The pictures make it look huge.
