I just finished this project tonight, a few hours ago! This project took around 120 hours and was one of my most complex works yet. I can't wait to get it framed but for now all I have to share are the poor quality cell phone pictures.

This project is mostly printed on the material itself with selected areas for stitching. Many different embroidery stitches were used in this piece to accentuate and enhance the original image, and giving certain things like jewelry a 3D effect.

Hope you like it :)

Very beautiful and something to be proud of for sure. Its been a number of years since I have done embroidery to that degree, and never with a couple of the stitches you describe but it is an art that I have enjoyed as well. It is very satisfying and soothing to do that sort of hand work and see it develop before our eyes. Again, VERY IMPRESSIVE and BEAUTIFUL.

Whoa! This is awesome! ^_^ Actually, I really didn't know what cross stitching was when I read the title, so I think in my head I think I was expecting to see a picture of a scarf or something. lol Seeing incredible work has really peaked my interest. I kind of want to try doing something like this. I think my sister does this as well, but never anything to this complexity. This is a very beautifully done. You did an amazing job! :)

Thank you all :) I really appreciate it!

I've never been the type to just sit and watch TV in the evening so this is what I do to keep my hands busy and my mind content.

Vicky, I really do find embroidery to be very relaxing and as you said, there are few things more rewarding than watching a piece of blank fabric turn into a work of art. I wish I had children to pass them on to. With the number of hours that go into these and the cost of framing they really are keep sakes. I always feel like I actually accomplished something with my time.

IzzyBell or anyone else who would like to try a project like this I definitely recommend starting small. The first project I did was about the size of a post card but it was very ornate and took about of a month of haaaaard work to get it done. I don't really remember how many hours it took but I do remember that it was easy enough to follow the instructions and teach myself how to do it and if you ever encounter trouble there are plenty of videos on youtube and online elsewhere to help. I definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys working with their hands. It's a fairly simple craft but certainly among the most rewarding.

4 Charlie and Szenzie, thank you again :)

*Hugs*

      ideas for talking peacefully to an overly religious domineering sibling?

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      I am an evangelical  I am also transgender.  This is an issue. I have read up on it.  I am not an expert, but I have done a lot of reading.   One thing I do not get about people who take that position is that evangelicals are all about salvation by faith alone by Christ alone by grace alone - unless you are transgender.  Then you cannot be saved, these say, unless you do the work of un-transgendering yourself.  Which is, practically, impossible.  I have read the "solutions" and I don't buy them, obviously, because they do not work.    In evangelicalism salvation is by faith alone, Christ alone, grace alone, without any merit of our own.  That means, to an evangelical, we come to Christ as we are,  in the words of a glorious hymn,   1 Just as I am, without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me, and that thou bidd'st me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   2 Just as I am, and waiting not to rid my soul of one dark blot, to thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   3 Just as I am, though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt, fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   4 Just as I am, thou wilt receive, wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; because thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   We do not clean ourselves up BEFORE we come to Christ.  We let Him clean us up AFTER we come to Him.    Those who insist that transgender people cannot be saved are actually preaching another Gospel, a Gospel of works, and have wandered away from the glorious Gospel into works.  That is strong but true.   Struggling with legalism and grace, I have found more of God's mercy and grace available to me because I struggle with being transgender and seeking His resolution of it.  Which, not having the struggle, I would not have needed to seek Him earnestly on this.

      Euphoria and dysphoria

      By Jet McCartney · Posted

      Eventually, (especially if you start T,) things will even out. The excitement you feel is from everything being so new. Finally knowing yourself and having others recognise you can be thrilling. However, because it is your natural state of being, eventually that wears off. There's nothing exciting about it anymore because it's "just you." (Which is a perfect thing to be!) This, however, can lead to disappointment. Trust me when I say however, that that disappointment and jarring reaction to wrong pronouns will go away, and you'll once again feel comfortable in yourself.

      I love long hair. I'm wanting my hair to touch the floor. I guess we shall see how long it can get.

      What are you wearing today?

      By Ivy · Posted

      I wear a wig most of the time.  But I can get by with my natural (shoulder length) hair if I wear a hat or something to cover the mostly empty top. Unfortunately that train has left the station, sigh.

      There is no such thing as a normal person. Do you agree?

      By Ashley0616 · Posted

      Normal is a word in the dictionary and a setting on washing machine.

      Russian Poetry Competition Bans Entries From Trans People

      By Ivy · Posted

      Oddly enough, just this weekend I read some of my poetry at a local event.  In this case it was a Pride group so I didn't have a particular advantage.  But I have read in more inclusive (of cis people) situations, and been fairly well received.  Let's face it, cis people do deserve an equal chance.   I suppose this might be a problem in the future.

      Of course we do.  The few friends I do have are almost exclusively cis or trans women. I think I could have a relationship with a man, but he would be kinda "other" to me.  Could be interesting though. I never have understood guys - even when I was trying to be one.
