Its looking fantastic Nic I'm gonna pull up the bench to watch this one!

Shes stunning.So life like.

Thanks for your comments guys.

I've now picked this one up for a bit (as waiting for threads for my HAED) and am majorly addicted to it again.

The picture doesn't really do it justice as the skin tones are much more realistic than in the photo!

Hoping to do some more today, but my hand/wrist is killing after doing so much of that background yesterday. The background uses either 5 or 6 skeins and its quite an effort pulling the threads through the aida. Doubt a bit of pain will stop me doing some more though

Here is a pic....

Nic you are doing so great on this. Look at all of the progress you have made and it is beautiful. Sorry that your wrist is sore.

[agi]

Oh, how beautiful! I hope your wrist gets better after some rest.

This really is fabulous Nic. The skin tones look good to me and give a realistic look to her. I really do like this alot, but i'm curious about the gridded aida as well. Is it a washable one?

[burgundyice]

It's beautiful & looks very lifelike, well done you for handling 4 strands and still making it look so neat!

She is so beautifully detailed, and your work is so neat!

[nicgoss]

You guys are all so kind! Thankyou!

I wondered what you were talking about when you mentioned gridding, because its not gridded in the slightest, but looking back at the picture I posted I can totally see what you mean! How wierd!

I've actually noticed this before when I've taken other pictures - really don't know why it appears like this.

I wish it was gridded because it would make it alot easier !!

Thanks again for your support. Hope to do a bit more this week and will post more pics - addicted again to this one now!
