HAED Envy by Marta Dahlig PIC UPDATE 9th Feb

Post by rachel7378 »

I started Envy on Monday, and I'm lovin stitching on her, and decided to make her my focus piece. I dont think I'm one of those people who can stitch more than one HAED at a time, so I chose my most favourite design to stitch and Envy is it!

This is how she'll look complete:

And this is where I'm at:

This is page one, nearly done the first half of it. I'm really enjoying stitching the greens, I really hope I can stick at her!

good thing you enjoy green... :shock: and i think you are wise sticking to a single HAED, although others seem to manage multiples (how??). Anyway, looking excellent. :applesauce:

This one is my second favourite of the series (after Sloth :) ) Lovely colours, I've only just noticed the pillars and sky and things behind her!

Great start! :applesauce:

Thanks so much everyone!

I never really liked green in the past, but the green in this design is fantastic, so it was nice to be stitching a colour palette I wouldnt normally choose. I'm more a pink/purple/red girl myself. But I'm defintely a green convert now lol.

I wish I knew the secret to having more than one HAED on the go, I feel I can't commit to mulitple projects, but maybe when I'm more ahead with this one, it might feel right to start another. We'll see...:)

It is really great to get lots of encouragement, I certainly need it - she is huge!

This is an amazing design! I'm not a fan of green myself, but this design wouldn't be fantastic without it.

I have all the seven deadly sin charts, and the only one I'm not hot on is Gluttony too. Makes me wonder if it is possible to stitch all 7, can you all imagine what a challenge that would be!

If I ever get this finished, I would really love to stitch Lust next, love her dress.

Well I've nearly finished the first half of page 1, I'm really enjoying stitching her so far :)
