Next New Project 'Bentley Boy' *FINISHED*

Post by nicgoss »

Well this is what I promised my mum for her birthday, but gave her the pattern I was planning to do instead of the finished product.

Learnt early on when doing my 'Millie' picture that nothing can be kept a secret from my mum, so decided she could watch me do this one.. :D :D

So this is the finished picture of her adorable English Setter 'Bentley'...

Image

...and this is how far I have got with it! Have to say that like the 'Millie' picture, this is a EXTREMELY difficult pattern and has 90+ colours :shock: !!!

Looks very blurry, but that is my fantastic camerawork! :D :D :D :D

This is a lovely picture and is turning into cross stitch really well! I think with these the trick is to get a good-quality picture to start with, well-lit etc.
