My name is Rachelle, and I've been lurking on the forums for a little while looking at all your great pics, and I thought it was time to say hello and share what I'm working on.
I started a Heaven and Earth Designs chart last week, called Dusty Rose.
This is my progress. Her hair has a huge amount of confetti in it, there’s so many different colours that make up the black hair, it’s astounding. I was stitching with blues, greys, purples, pinks, and of course black, and I think the effect is great. I also love her eye make-up, it blends really well. Her face is made up of one colour DMC 3865, which is an off white shade. It was pretty challenging to prevent the thread from becoming unclean, and little fibres would appear which I’ve been having to tweeze out carefully. I’m just hoping I can keep it clean whilst I stitch the rest of the design.
So far, I’m loving the design, it’s challenging as it’s mostly confetti and single stitches, but heaps of fun to see come to life. I can’t wait to see more of her appear over the coming months. I hope you all like her. It's really nice to find a forum to share my cross stitch progress with, and I can't wait to get chatting to all of you.
