Oh that's great Daz, I love sky backgrounds on pictures. I think it's the colours they can put into them.
Anyhow, you are stormin' ahead with this one! great progress.

Wonderful progress, it is really looking great. The background is looking great.

Did some more on it last night (but havent taken a pic yet).
Filled in some more of the sky, and started working on some of the highlighted areas of the sea.
Unfortunately, I found that one of the main colours used for the sea (DMC #341) is missing from my stash... so I'm going skein hunting in the local stitch shop at lunch time

Hmm one of my favourites -- lovely mauvy blue series.

Poor you, what a terrible ordeal...

Wonders what else Daz might bring home from the stash shop!

erm, probably nowhere near as much stash as I'd like, considering it's still another week before pay day

LOL

I've worked a day shift yesterday and again today, so not had much stitching time... well OK, about 2 hours last night. I have one or two new pics on my cameraphone but they don't show much progress from the last one, yet

I'll try to post an update tomorrow night

ooh yeah, come on Daz, I really want to see another picture. I'm loving this project,

Will try to get the next pic posted later today... The sky is now about 80-90% finished, and I've started filling some of the sea hilights. Watch this space

*watches space intently in case update suddenly and magically appears*

It doesn't seem to be working...

Dazbo666 · Post by **Dazbo666** » Fri Apr 11, 2008 7:07 pm

...and as if by magic, the update appears

That's great Daz, you have done plenty to it

Mabel Figworthy · Post by **Mabel Figworthy** » Fri Apr 11, 2008 7:26 pm

That sky is stunning, and it's great how some of the colour changes are quite subtle while others are very bold -- great!

Dazbo666 · Post by **Dazbo666** » Fri Apr 11, 2008 7:41 pm

The pic really doesn't do it justice to be honest (but the only camera I have at the moment is the 2MP digicam built in to my phone).

Personally I'd have preferred to stick to subtle colour changes too, but I just followed the original DMC pattern. I still think it looks very "fresh" though

Great progress - its lovely
