Artisan Crafts / Needlework / Cross Stitch & Embroidery

Started waaaaaay back in 2007, fondly nicknamed The Space Project (TSP), `j4m3sb0nd was nice enough to let me use his image Resonant for my cross stitching needs.

One of the few images I've actually put a signature on. I know as a stitcher I always should, but it seems only the most important ones actually get it. Ashley Mae, 2009, in pink sits in the corner. That particular shade of pink is actually used in the planet, so it doesn't raise the color count.

The scanned image is slightly skewed, not just because of scanning but because the cloth isn't yet properly ironed and stretched. You'll also notice my long-past mistake of measuring an inch for each side and leaving two inches on one side...

It works out in the end, thankfully, and I'll be adding an extra layer of cloth so it can be framed easier.

Color Total: 68
Size: 11 x 16 inches (poster sized!)
Time: 246 hours
14 Count white Aida

Fabulous work! That's definitely something to be proud of! 246 hours... pheeeww... How do you keep count of hours? I've never done that.

=pinkythepink Aug 26, 2012 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

Thanks! I'm finally getting it framed!

I keep track of hours by looking at the clock

But really, usually I'm just watching TV or something while I work, and most shows have a pretty standard 30 mins or 1 hour section. For this piece, however, my pattern was on my computer (before my lappy and mobility), so I had to sit and work without the luxury of TV timing. With that it was usually like, "okay, I started at 1, and now it's 4:30" and I'd write down the tally marks.

That makes sense!

I've never done that, because I actually get dizzy and get some sort of motion sickness if I try to stitch and watch TV at the same time (head goes up and down... up and down... up and down..

). Weird, huh... So I usually do this sort of work before I go to sleep, while sitting in bed.

Ohh, I understand! Most of the time I'm not actually watching it, just listening, but it works because I'm listening to mostly science or other sorts of documentaries... XD I know, boring! When House was on or I'm watching Star Trek, those are the times when I get the dizzies.

Better to just not look!

In a galaxy far, far, away.

This is beautiful piece of cross stitch. What stitch count is it may I ask?

=pinkythepink Jan 24, 2012 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

Thank you

I believe it's 14 count on white Aida.

I've had it tucked away for a long time since it's not framed yet, but 14cnt sounds correct.
