Byzantine Lady

I finally got back to doing some stitching this week. I've finished the neck on my Byzantine Lady. Then taking a look at the cover pic on the kit, I noticed that the 2 bottom rows are missing from the chart! So I'll figure those out myself and stitch them in. Some of the backstitching on the chart is in the wrong colour too. Someone had a really bad day when they did the charting for this.

Finally did some stitching on her this evening.  Not sure about how the eyes will end up looking, but I do love how the hair looks.  There seems to be a few mistakes on the chart, to how the cover picture looks, so I've made some minor colour changes to suit myself.  

Love seeing everyone else's pieces.

Ladies, Start Your Needles!

Now that we've finally clicked over into 2012, we can make a start!  You can upload a pic of the project/s that you'll be working on first, if you want.  Or you can just wait till Monday the 9th, when the first progress pic is due.

My first project is Maia's Byzantine.  I fell in love with it the minute I saw it and just had to get it!  I started it late last year sometime, but found the 16-count black aida really hard going.  Fortunately, it's not very big, so I just have to persevere with it.  There's quite a few beads to go onto it too, which I've never really done before.  It looks a little spooky at the moment without the eyes done, like a sugar skull or something, but she will be beautiful in the end.
