This is a counted cross stitch that came from a Bucilla Kit. Basically, counted cross stitch means that you start in the center of a blank canvas and work your way out of the center following the creator's stitch guide for color and the type of stitch you will be using. Once you get the basic stitching in, then the features are outlined to accentuate them. If you make a mistake, you take out the stitching and re-count and do it again.
It took me about 6 or 7 months to stitch it, but I really love it. The yellow background really makes the other colors pop.I was so excited to find the barnwood frame. What could be more perfect for this guy.
He is hanging in my kitchen. He has glass over the top of the stitching and I had trouble getting a good picture..thus the white spot on his leg...Perhaps I can get my photographer to take a better picture when he gets home from hunting.
This is awesome! I can not keep on one project too long before I get sick of it, so I am so impressed when people can take several months to create! Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteAnd the barn wood is perfect!
