Cross Stitch Paperweight
It's Sunday so time for another of my non-cardmaking posts. I enjoy cross stitch and over the years have made many pictures, mainly to give as presents. Nowadays I prefer smaller projects which I can finish quickly. This cross stitch picture has been placed into the base of a paperweight - there's also a small piece of green felt on the bottom which both finishes the project and also ensures that it doesn't scratch furniture.
I have struggled with the photo as the glass shines which has pulled some of the colour out of the flowers - they're far more vivid than the photo shows.

Oh Kath that is beautiful! I used to do masses of cross stitch and embroidery but nowadays with my varifocals I really struggle to thread a needle or find the holes in the Aida, which takes all of the pleasure out of it for me.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great way of using cross stitch Kath and love the colours of this pretty piece. x
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, Kath! I've tried cross stitch a few times but just can't make anything that looks even half right so I'm in awe of this, Jo x

Hi Kath
ReplyDeleteI have crossed a few stitches in my time too .. .. .. I have one big picture of a Victorian dolls house that is still nowhere near finished. I wonder if it ever will be?!?!? I hope so.
Your paperweight is gorgeous. Love the beautiful colours you worked with.
