Its start a new project time for me. So ive decided to start this -
Its from The world of cross stitching issue 172 and 173.
Its 300 x 155 stitches and the designe size is 21.5 x 11 inches (54.5 x 28 cms).
Now it should be stitched on 28 count evenweave, but unfortunatly the only evenweave i have in my stash is a blood red colour. So ive decided to stitch it on 14 count white AIDA instead. As ive some spare AIDA measuring 28 x 14 inches, which was given to me.

I like this design... it reminds me of a tattoo my husband drew up for one his friends... only of course the tattoo had the woman a little more bustier( if that's even a word)

What a fun design! *
wonders whether bloodred wouldn't have been a very good background colour for a pirate

I saw this in the magazine - she's a new designer so I'm keen to see how her design stitches up.
Good luck and I shall enjoy watching her develop.

I've seen this one too, kept it in my stash to stitch one day for my niece who is mad on Pirates of the Carribean! Will be very interested to see how you get on

Below is what ive got done so far.
I will add the sead beads to the eyes when everything is finished. This one is easy to stitch, as the only fractioal stitches are on the mouth. Again i apoligies about the picture quality, as i still cant find the camera.
