WIP HAED, Snow Leopard, *FRAMED*

Post by Lizzy »

Image

Snow Leopard from HAED by Schim Schimmel.
Started stitching on Sat evening on DMC 18ct pre gridded aida with DMC threads. Wish me luck as the background is mainly black and dark purple/burgundy.. :shock:

Nearly 1/2 a page done but the background plays havoc with the eyes so Im going to do the 10x10 sections along the top edge and then start on his ear. The 1st colour I needed I didnt have :lol:

Sorry for the pic quality but Im rubbish at taking them!

As soon as I saw it I fell in :wub:

This is the biggest project I have attempted and its 300x223 sts. Done on 18ct it will be aprox 16.5 x 12.5.

I saw the Leopard pic that Dazbo666 put up and I :wub: it so guess who I'm going to blame when I go x eyed with the black background :lol:

This one is lovely! And I can definitely sympathise about the black/purple background, my HAED is the same, so you'll get difficult/interesting bits on the leopard & then have to go back to red and black again for a while!
