Do you remember the name of the co. and/or the kit title? I really like this and think it would look great in my son's guest bathroom which he and my daughter-in-law have put an Oriental theme in.
I love doing needle work, I started cross-stitching when I was young and have recently started adventuring in to the other styles out there.
Where did you learn your textle skills?
My grandmother introduced me to cross stitch and from there I'm pretty much self taught. I love reading other people's tips and tricks and trying them out myself.
Anything else you want to say to introduce yourself to the group??
My life goal is to try every style of needlework out there.
Hello Anna, thank you for your comment on my embroidery. Your embroidery looks really interesting. I especially love the trees. Look forward to seeing more.
Hi Anna thanks for your comment I had better explain how this design came about ....i was trying to generate some interest in embroidery stitching to a couple of disaffected young lads in one of my classes.....i decided to look at tattoos as they seemed interested in drawing skulls .I then went on to start stitching the skull I had drawn as an example to them I then decided to make it into a colourful day of the dead skull ....one of the lads did go on to embroider a copy of a tattoo in back stitch and stem stitch so it was useful exercise after all ! all the best

Thanks Anna for your comment. It was really fun embroidering this. Now that I see your Petit Lotus I need to practice cross stitch too. Really beautiful design and shading.
Have a great day!

Hello Anna, Thankyou for your encouraging comments. I must say the gecko is my favorite. We have lots of these little fellows outside our home that come out at night to feed on insects. Some even make it inside and scamper around. I don't mind that they come in - they are so cute but I do try to catch them and place thm back outside.
