Podolyanka's Cross Stitch 2021

[Squirrel]

In spite of the problems with the greys Lyudmyla you are making really good progress on this magnificent work of art. I know you will get to the end of it and love it once again.

[Nicola Main]

He is wonderful Lyudmila! And will be worth all the slog when he's finished!

While it may have been horrible to work from their chart, I do rather like it It reminds me of being on holiday when I was younger and having the buskers going round table to table.

A fabulous finish Lyudmyla. I love it. I too can hear that music. Well Done on another awesome finish.

[Podolyanka]

Finish and leftovers.

Daughter will attach the silver strings when she has time, but first he is off for washing. I cant believe how fast I finished him!

You have made a 5 Star finish!

You won't have to stitch this one again will you??

[Steam.Jo]

Well done, all finished

He is rather sexy



Note to self: avoid these kits with the horrible coloured charts in the future

Well done Lyudmila he's fantastic and so life-like! The detail is superb!

[rcperryls]

I cant believe how fast I finished him!

Nor can I. What I do believe is that you have stitched a masterpiece. I'm sure the recipient will absolutely love and cherish this one forever!

Congratulations on yet another wonderful finish - I wonder what he's playing?

[Podolyanka]

The picture is one from the series "Flamenco". I think he is playing the music of the dance. The second chart in the series is a lady-dancer performing Flamenco, with her back to the audience. Judging by the picture, she would be a complete disaster for my eyes- lots of whitish and white -off shades in one strand- full stitches and half stitches. Brrr.

A really great finish on this interesting design. Well Done

Not tempted to stitch the dancer then??

[Podolyanka]

Nope. Here is why:

[Podolyanka]

To begin with, her hair looks as if eaten by moth. Her top looks terrible- like an underwear (combinations?) which was in fashion until 1970s. Compare her right and left sleeves! Looks like she was created by a different designer than the guitarist. Anyway, I dont feel like stitching her.

Not to mention the questionable anatomy of her shoulder and upper arm joint...

run away! run away!

I wish you had not mentioned that It put a new meaning to dislocated shoulder
