Pretty!
Oh, what have you done, my lady... XD now I want to try make the original artwork into a pattern. I think it can become a neat ~11x11 cm thingy.

[Humhum]

Okaay, this is what I drew so far. To be honest, like 50% of it is my fantasy about what it might look like, because the original is so blurry.
Made with flosscross wed page, which is set for dmc. 69x69. I like them small, lol. X)
Hope colours look fine on your monitors.. anyway, I need to put it away for a few days to see clearly if it needs changes, so, it's not a chat yet (god, flosscross pdfs are ugly).

This pic will be up for 2 month.

Thats cool.   I saw the one I posted on my stitching message board page.

The only cross-stitch I do is the printed.  Mostly baby quilts and some tablecloths.  The counted is to small of holes for me to do.   

[Humhum]

Yes, thanks, checked your board and found few things for later - those meesmerizing geometric square patterns, which look like a kaleidoscope.

The counted is too small of holes for me to do. 

I see. For some reason I'm on the oppposite side, even though I have a poor eyesight)) Really enjoy making small crafts and cross stiching on aida 18 is an oddly satisfying activity.

Stitching is relaxing.  I have made around 30 (give or take) blankets.  Most I have given to relatives, a few I have charged for.   

somewhere on this board are I few that Char has posted about.

[Humhum]

That is really sweet.
Yeees, I'd say it is catching, you think you make a few crosses and then there is almost a bed time. )

I did change it a little, like ten squares. This is it. Lets make some fan craft.
For me there is going to be another step - matching colours with the local brand ot threads before I can try it out on canvas. Aaaand if anyone can tell me how to wrap a long text into "more" code, please do! so that I a least spam about stiching within reasonable bounds.

[Sara Dale]

That will be nice when its done.  You have a talent for doing that. I need the printed and bigger stitches.  When I get mine done I will send you a picture of it.

I also put a backing on mine.

[Humhum]

You are too kind, web tools make creating a pic much easier. I remember redrawing the verse from the Ruling Ring from LoTR on paper when I was a teen. It was fun, lmao, all those school workbook sheets attached together were sooo long.

When I get mine done I will send you a picture of it.

Pleasse, do!) sorry for late answers.
Not sure if I get it right: by backing you mean adding another layer of fabric to canvas?

[Sara Dale]

Since mine are blankets I find material that will match or come close to what is on the front. 

[Humhum]

I see. Was not sure, because I dont't really know sewing vocabulary.

[Humhum]

Hi, everyone. Today I need to show off a little bit. Made it, yay! Say hi to my hand.
I kind of failed the checkered part of the skull pattern, it is all there, but it definitely needs a more distinct colour difference to be seen from a distance.
Also fixed a couple misplaced squares on the way.

[Sara Dale]

Wow! That is great. I love the colors. Keep up the good work on your stitching.

If you print out the pattern on ink jet T-shirt transfer paper you can iron it on the cloth you want to embroider.

[Humhum]

Thank you, I will.
