HAED - Peacock's Lagoon updated Oct-11

Post by alinna »

I just picked up my HAED of Peacock's Lagoon again, started it about 2 months ago.

This is what it should look like when finished:

Progress so far!

It's stitched using tent stitch 2 over 1 on 25ct Jobelan. This is about 25% of page 1, and there are 42 pages.

Aaahh, this is a Ciro Marchetti design! My favourite artist! I shall love watching this grow - it's a beautiful picture and one I had debated about getting for myself, but with Bubble Telescope already on the go and Floatilla in my stash I thought I better not buy any more just yet.

You've made a great start, looking forward to the next update.

Oh yes I am. :D :D
I like this very much but prefer to stitch lifelike peacocks if that makes sense. I am looking forwards to seeing it develop. Good luck.

That's going to look fantastic, does it stitch up faster when you use tent stitch and what about thread coverage(does it hide the material well)? :applesauce: :applesauce:

Oh yay! Another HAED! I just love all of these designs. You've made a great start on this and with the tent stitches you should move along quickly so you can start the actual peacock! :applesauce: :applesauce:
