I liked your self portrait with dog cosmo.  I can see that you knew what you were doing and the dali influence....love it.

This is a cross stitch of my late grandson - I did it from a school photo of him.

if you like murals there are some amazing ones in here, a lot of them show photos of the projects in progress

wow rosie!!! that is amazing.

*bows in awe*

My pics seem a bit large - I will try to resize them in photobucket

I always wanted to repaint over it in oils, but never did and never will now. It is what it is...  I actually have a smaller portrait of my son that I started to paint in oils about 6 years ago (maybe more), I always said I'd finish it for his 18th birthday. Considering he's 16 I'm starting to get a bit worried as I haven't touched it since a few months after starting it :^O

WOW rosie, so much work and attention to detail !

Think you'd better get working on it again cosmo LOL 2 years to go !

pepe I'm a tragic, I have that site on favs, too !!

that's absolutely beautiful Rosie...did you choose the colours yourself?

Incredible cross stitch work, I can't fathom the amount of detail that must take!

Gill, I sent the picture to a lady who has a program which makes the graph and tells you which DMC threads to use - She was here on ebay but I cant remember who she was.

I think now its pretty easy to find these programs but I havent tried a photo one since.
