yay great start

[tiffstitch]

Great start!! It's funny that you're apologizing for the confetti skitzzzz, don't we need to blame Van Gogh?

[megan_bright]

This is going to be so awesome! I look forward to seeing your progress.

[Carole]

Oh no Skitzzzzz, don't apologise for the confetti. That's what will make it look so good when it's all finished

I've managed to get quite a bit more done. Well it looks a lot until I move it from under the magnifier

I enjoyed doing that star as I could see it coming together but then I got to a point where all there was left to do in that area was confetti. I needed a break from that so I let myself do that blue area at the bottom which is fewer shades so was much quicker to do. I think I'll carry on filling in one square of confetti at a time, and then rewarding myself with some of the blue as it felt like I'd made a lot of progress and was very encouraging.




Thanks for looking

I agree with Carole.. there is so much color in this.. without the confetti the design might lose some of that. Confetti it tough, but it's worth it in this case. Your stitching it looking wonderful Carole!

Looking wonderful!! I think everyone will agree - confetti is a pain, but totally worth it in the end!! The detail is absolutely amazing already!!

[Fljotsdale]

Looking good!

The main trouble with lots of confetti - apart from stitching it! - is that it makes the back of the work very messy. (Well - it makes the back of my work look messy, anyway )

I love the colors, can't wait to see more of it.

[skitzzzzz]

Oh yes its all van gogh's fault lol not mine for confetti lol
but this project needed it and cried out for the colour -
Looking fabulous carole well done as they say 'one stitch at a time'
i do love the colours for this - this is a longer term project but so worth it
just imagine when its finished you step back and go WOW i am just as good as van gogh lol i so to can be an artist and of course 'i did that' lol stitched by my own fair hand
keep up the good work

[gyork]

looking great, there are a few of these on the go at the moment which is great

[Fizzbw]

In a lot of ways its harder than painting it!

Will look utterly amazing though!

Some beautiful colours there! Look forward to seeing this progress

[Mrs Milkybar Kid]

Amazing colours! I've finally got my threads and fabric together for this one and hope to start it soon. Seeing your progress will really help to spur me on as this is my first 'big' stitch!

[rcperryls]

Colors are just beautiful. Amazing progress with all the confetti stitches too!

ps its weird to read your posts with "my name" on them (spelled with an "e").. Wish my work was as pretty as yours.

Actually I've been thinking how weird it is to see "my name" signing your posts (spelled with an 'e')
And your work is lovely too!

Thanks for the lovely comments and encouragement everyone

[Juel]

Great update
