New Start Xmas Banner & Scarlet Lips WIP Continued

Hi!

I have been working on a couple of projects lately.  First, I have been continuing on my "Scarlet Lips" QS from HAED.  I love working on this one!  I wasn't able to finish a page, though.  But I still got to do quite a bit:

 

Compared to the last wip:

And I started a new cross stitch 2 weeks ago.  It's a Christmas banner from Dimensions. It's really cute!  It will be ready for next Xmas:

I stitched the whole thing without the backstitching.  I made an error on the top where it says :Welcome Friends.  I stitched 3 extra rows (miscounted).  I like it though.  I also eliminated the orange squares; made them red instead:

Next I will be doing the backstitching!



Have a great week!
Hugs,

Scarlet Lips from HAED

I fell in love with this chart as soon as I saw it!  The art is by Ching-Chou Kuik.  I adore her work, and this painting is one of my favorites!  She is just so beautiful!  Heaven and Earth Designs has a lot of Kuik's art charted.  I started stitching this one on 25 count Lugana with 2 strands.  It has nice big color patches, so it stitches pretty quickly.  Here is a photo of a WIP earlier on:

She started coming out so pretty.  I just love her wavy hair!  Lots of different shades of blue and purple!  Here is another WIP a few months later:

Here you see most of her hair, face, and rose in her hair is done.  A few months later...:

Almost all of her hair is complete.  Her face and the rose are done, and I did a lot of her hand, neck, shoulder and back.  She is like a painting!

So far, she is my favorite chart I am working on! <3
