This is going to be amazing when you finish, Liz!
This is going to be gorgeous.
It's like the cross-stitch I used to design, i.e., "photo realistic" and entailing a lot of confetti stitching. I took pictures of flowers in my garden, then put them through my Photoshop darkroom shenanigans, imported that into my charting program, and proceeded to tweak away at the number of colors to keep it to 50 or fewer. Then I stitched them. I spent over a year working on "Morning Glory," ripping the central floral motif out once, then starting all over again when I got off somewhere and couldn't find my way out. Another time I was more than half finished with the central motif, "Day Lily," and decided I didn't like the way the colors were working, so I started that one all over again. Both were over 2 on either 28- or 32-ct linen. Can you see why I find charted needlepoint much more satisfying now?
it looks nice so far.
good luck for the rest of your project! :)
You've put a lot of thought and work into redoing this design and made a wonderful start! A little at a time, you'll get it done. Looking forward to seeing more as it develops.
