This post will be short and sweet as the wip I worked on covers both these SAL's.
I was working on my sisters gift of Rose Zircon from Imaginarium by the artist Maxine Gadd.
As some of you may know I am trialling diagonal stitching and have decided due to the large amounts of flesh coloured tones and chunks of black that I would do this entire chart in diagonal working from one corner to the opposite one until finished. So not page by page as I am doing with Alisha.
I hope and pray that I have counted correctly otherwise I'm going to have a lot of frogging to do when I get to her face.
If you're interested this is the Floss tube that helped me get started:

That's all stunners! Told you it would be short and sweet.
Take care and may life be magical

Nice progress and thanks for your comments on my blog, and on past posts. I've watched a few stitchers stitch a head this way. I don't know if I will be one of them or not. I hope everything works out.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress Alicia. I will never attempt any of these charts. I just really enjoy my big for me pieces.

I wonder if this is the reason why I'm too scared to try one of these huge charts? A frog on one of these would be a nightmare and I'd probably curl up into a little ball of uselessness. Your progress is wonderful~ :D/
ReplyDeleteWow. Beautiful progress. I hope you were right too. That would be a bad mistake if not.
ReplyDeleteNice starts! I really like the idea of the diagonal stitching. I can't see that you can go far wrong with the counting, what's an extra block of confetti between friends?
ReplyDeleteIt’s really a great and helpful piece of information. I am happy that you simply shared this helpful information with us.

Wonderful stitching on this one =) That diagonal method sounds very interesting, I love to change the way/ direction I stitch in from time to time, so maybe I will give this diagonal method a try for my next new start =)
ReplyDeleteYou are braver than me, I don't have the courage to try diagonal stitching, no matter how many tutorials I watch. You look like you've taken to it like a fish to water though. I am in awe.
