Oh gosh the white parts look like they'd be difficult on there. I'm working on a beauty and the beast one right now by thomas kinkade. And I know how difficult the bigger cross-stitch can be. I love how it's turning out but it's taking forever.
I have to say this tickles me because I'm working on the Tinker Bell close-up piece from the same collection.
This is my progress so far.
Oh I love how the outline around tinker bell looks. Don't they take forever though?! I've been working on my piece for months and the project is so much bigger then i thought. I liked the snow white piece, but at the rate i'm going i'm not sure i want to do another one this big. I was a little disapointed in the coloring for belle's dress on mine. They favor orange for some reason, and her dress looks orange instead of yellow. I kept thinking, "oh it'll look fine when i'm done." By the time i realized i should've picked my own colors it was too late. I'd gone to far and it would've been a nightmare to start over.
Well, I don't have a day job or anything, so I have a lot of time on my hands. I've only been working this particular piece for about two and a half weeks. I'd love to do all 12 pieces, but I don't think I'll be able to afford the bigger kits. As it is, it takes me about 2 months to save up the $12 plus shipping for one of the smaller ones.
And that outline was a nightmare. I officially despise blending filaments. -_____-
EDIT: Do you still need a Fausto's Bottle for the avatar in your signature?
I don't have a job either, so i understand time on your hands. I started when I was working in the fall. Whenever i'd have a second I'd work on it between customers. I think they're $40-$50 a piece, which is way more then i usually pay. Typically I buy a pattern or a book. Then just pick out some cloth and use my floss box. I picked mine up at hobby lobby with a coupon which was nice. I have to use the blending floss for the rose. I normally can't stand the blending either, but the blending for this piece looks worse then normal. It breaks so easily.
Yes, I do have fausto's bottle. I got it a week ago and was pretty excited. The only bummer is it can't be equipped with the hair i wanted.
Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I saw them priced at $42.50, I think, and that is well out of my price range. I tend to buy kits because I live in BFE and the nearest craft store is 33 miles away, which is out of the question since I don't drive, nor do I know anyone with a car. And the kits are easier to buy online. I do have 3 books of patterns, though, so maybe after we move up to a city, I'll be able to buy the supplies for those. I'm just dying to do most of them.
Alright. I figured I'd ask since I have an extra one.
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning with you
