Updatey Stuff

Updates from the [info]mirastitchers SAL.

Here's where she was


And here's where I finished up after the SAL.

Bluebeard's Princess WIP VI
Bluebeard's Princess WIP VI



I've been working on her upper body a bit...her face looks really good. It'll probably look better once she has eyes, though...



And now she has beads in her hair! A close up to try and let you guys see the shiny...



There are two different colors of pink-ish beads in her hair, not that the photo really lets you see them. The shinier, pinker of the two beads was such a pain to work with, because not one single bead in the entire package I bought fit my beading needle! So every time I wanted one of the pink beads, I had to take my needle off, painstakingly thread the bead onto the floss, thread the needle again...(wash and repeat as needed) Thank goodness that's the last time I seem to need to use them >:(

Anyway...Finally, a close up of that crown motif thing. It doesn't have much shiny yet, just a little Kreinik, but it will have beads eventually, once I've backstitched it.
The shiny doesn't show up too well in the picture, but both the light green and the gold are Kreinik.

ooooh it's a comb. I was trying to figure out what was going on with that in the previous wip photo, lol.

It's looking good!

Lol! I didn't even think that other people might not know what it was supposed to be...glad to hear that you can see what it is now!

Thank you!

I'm using a beautiful piece of Lugana from Silkweavers...I think it was called Iris Garden.
It's 32 count, I think...that's what the pattern called for, anyway. I can't remember what I ordered...but it was probably 32, I've gone by the pattern for every other part of this piece.

Thank you so much!

Thankyou!

p.s. you also take some awesome photos. Some of the better photos of cross stitched pieces I have seen infact. Good lighting, good focus, really excellent rep of the colour and texture. DON'T stop doing that either, cause it makes looking at your stitching that much more pleasurable.

That seriously is fabulous and you're rocking right along on it.

I'm usually "meh" about Mira charts, but seeing you do this one has got me thinking. :)
