Joey Posted July 22, 2007 Report Posted July 22, 2007 This one is for my sister. She is Leo the Lion and her birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks. Just gotta get it framed and its good to go Joey
Joey Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Posted July 23, 2007 Was that done by hooking ?...Nice! No Norm, its by X stiching A series of many, many X's in different colours and double toned colours. Joey
Nanook Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 Well done Joey, thats a hell of a lot of work in "Leo". It will look realy good in a frame. Now........... get some fishing Girl!!!
Roy Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 Very nice Joey...VERY nice. I must show you mine some day also :-)
Bly Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 Looks great Joey! I am always impressed that anyone can finish a cross stitch...I haven't the patience. I have a few that my father did..he liked the ones where you have to count the stitches/no patterns.....think Cliff would move out if I tried one lol Anyway, very nice and I am sure it will look great framed!
Joey Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Posted July 23, 2007 Yes Bly, those are the only ones I like too. It seems like cheating to do the ones with a background already. I like to start with a plain blank piece of aida cloth and then its great when the finished product is all your own doing It always amazes me that some men do this kind of craft. I even know of one male OFNr that told me he used to do them But I've been sworn to secrecy. Joey
pameladallaire Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 Beautiful Joey! Good craftsmanship (or is it craftwomanship?) is not cheating!! How many people can do it?? Great job. Pam
ccmtcanada Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 Was that done by hooking ?...Nice! That's a rather personal question. Great job on the project!! Looks great!
nautifish Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 Ahhh! Another happy hooker......lol.....Have a freind who also cross stitches and thats what i call her A happy little hooker....lol.... Very nice job joey well done grl.
Cookslav Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 Very cool, Whats the time line on one of those....you must have put in some serious hours???
Beans Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 That's a rather personal question. Guess I shoulda asked if it was done by rug hooking...Cliff...no malice intended...LOL
Joey Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Posted July 23, 2007 Very cool, Whats the time line on one of those....you must have put in some serious hours??? Its hard to say really, when you only do it after work or on weekends when you're not fishing. Last year I did my wolves when I was home sick and it took me three months, doing it for about 4 - 5 hours per day, give or take. Joey
ccmtcanada Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 Guess I shoulda asked if it was done by rug hooking...Cliff...no malice intended...LOL LOL...I know Beans...just thought I'd play with you a bit...haha.
