Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Okay, I will try to post an update on Langnek, my second project which I started in June this year.



Sorry the camera on my phone is not that great. But just to get an idea.

It is a character out of a tale called 'the six servants' by the Grimm brothers, which is used by a fairy tale / adventure park called the Efteling in Holland. I like both (fairy tales & the park)

Thanx Richard! It worked!

Maartje.

If you go to my post, one at the bottom of the thread, I show how to do it.

Hope this helps,

Oh Granny that looks a really interesting design and your stitching is lovely and neat. Great to see it.

Love it. Makes a great height chart.

BTW. Have you seen they are starting work on an amazon series of "Good Omens" with David Tennant as Crowley and Michael Sheen as Aziraphale. Thought you would like to lnow as it's Pratchett in collaboration anyway.

Wow, that is different. You have done well with that & look forward to seeing it again soon

Does look fun. Admittedly a bit creepy with that neck, but I can see how kids would love it.

Richard

He's very funny, but I also have to admit a little creepy.

I love it and there is no doubt in my mind that most kids would love it too, though the very young might worry that their necks would do all the growing!

What a fun project! Lovely stitching.

Very fun project!!

Langnek! Ik word helemaal nostalgisch (I'm going all nostalgic - most Dutch children will have fond memories of this theme park and of Long Neck)

How brave you are to tackle a project this long. You have done well so far & hope to see it again soon.

Below my update on Langnek 03-09-2017.

I have finished his neck and have been backstitching all those leaves and branches in the middle. I love how all these details seem to pop up using a backstitch. However, now I need a short break




Greetings, maartje

I just love this!!!! Great progress!!!

Carole

I love it what a fun project

Great update on a very cute project!!

WOW that b/s sure has made it 'pop out' really well. A lovely update.

That is lovely. The backstitch certainly brings out the details. Well done

Look what I have found today in our American Bookshop!



Full of witches! Arghhh!

What a great find
