So here's my current cross-stitch project. I think it's probably a lifetime project, given that it's taken me most of this year to get just this far... As you can see, I have the southern regions of Africa, and much of Australia already done. Also, on the top right corner there is Indonesia!!
Here's a close-up of the main islands. Sumatra is the pink on the left. Java is to the lower right of it - in brown. Borneo/Kalimantan is above it in green. And it's hard to tell what all that brown stuff on the right is.
Here's a very crumpled up paper of what it's all supposed to look like when it's finished.
And here is just one of 40-some pages of pattern! I've done three so far, plus a little bit.
A close up of the pattern page. It uses 130 colors!
I had the fabric and all the floss sent from America. The fabric is HUGE. It's like 30 inches by 24 inches or something, and it's 20 count.In the evenings when I'm at home (not such a common occurrence), I'll put a movie on, and add a few stitches. It's slow going, but it'll give me something to do with my hands for a good long while!
This is fabulous. I'm still in awe over how massive this thing is... My mom taught me how to cross stitch years ago but I've never finished the project she taught me on. lol. I messed up and was too frustrated to fix it and try again ;)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see it as it grows! It'll be a masterpiece when finished.
