I finished my reproduction piece, though I did add and change things a bit;)
The original people were done in embroidery, so I had to make a similar version in cross stitch.
Since I worked from a picture, I was unsure of the size and my letters are not exactly the way I would do them, if I was to do it with a graph. The next one, I will graph out first. Sometimes when I stitch, I do change things if I don't like the way the shape is.
So what do you think? Should I leave it as is?
I will be staining it, before I frame it. I will use walnut ink to age it.
Debbie, you did a fantastic job! Congratulations! You are a natural designer!
