Labour of Love.
I have been working on this piece for several years. It is based on a photo of 2 of my parents (former) dogs.
To convert the photo to a cross stitch pattern I used a program written by 'Chestnut Pens'. It took some time to get to know the program, but it has endless possibilities.
As you can see in the stats below, it is stitched with mostly blended threads (and thus very time consuming and slow stitching). Luckily I was able to find fabric in one of the sky-colours, so I didn't have to stitch those. This also gives the final work some extra depth.
- Patroon/ Pattern: custom from photo - using Chestnut Pens software
- Maat/ Size: ~A4
- Stof/ Fabric: 18ct aida
- Garen/ Thread: DMC
