Wow those are awesome!
I want to do some of those too, but I don't think I'm good enough to try the big ones yet. >_<
I have two tiny free ones from a mag. I saw the prices for really big pictures and don't think I'd want to waste the money in the early stages of learning but they look so beautiful!
How long have you been doing that?
I really like the first one. =3
They are lovely Ian,you've got a talent there hun.
MY INDIAN NAME IS RISING SUN,Thankyou LF
I think I might do that, as I might want to alter the colours.
I like things in negative, and psychedelic colours. It'd be cool to alter a picture with your thread for either of those effects. Or even a sepia tint but that might be very difficult.
I've never seen the back thing on its own though. =/
Do you do it on a cloth or with those squared materials? >_< I don't know the terms. But I know my aunty and her daughters used to do it a lot and they just did it on plain cloth with a pattern which looks really hard. I'd probably not do the x's the same size at this level. lol
But I've not seen the square material thing plain and for sale. o.o
I'd be interested to see how much sense I just made with that. haha
Hi SuperInferior,
That's one of the good things of not using kits, you can make changes, not just colour of threads, but cloth as well and the finished size of the the whole thing. With regards the sepia tint, you could start with a sepia coloured cloth and then using the right shades of thread it could be done, I think you would need a lot of patience though to get the shades right. You can get the cloth on its own, I tend to buy most of my stuff online, as it tends to be cheaper, I use the squared materials as it gives the best results, I have done some xstitch on plain cloth, I did some cartoon characters and the childrens names on t-shirts, hard work but the end result worked well.
Ian.
Beautiful X stitch Ian. You must have the patience of a saint to work on black though as I always found that played havoc with my eyes. What count aida do you use? I can't use anything smaller than a 16 count these days unless I have specs, magnifying glass and very good light!
I hear you on that one metallics can be a right bugger to work with!

Ive just made another one of these, Ive just joined so am guessing at how to add a photo? I dont think I'll be making this pattern again as Ive done it 4 times now and I am bored with it now and need a new challenge!
