Scarlet Lips WIP Update

Hi!

It has been 2 and a half months since I last posted.  In all this time, I have been stitching on "Scarlet Lips", but I have also finished a few paintings, read a few books, etc.  Been keeping busy!

Here is an update on my WIP of "Scarlet Lips" QS from Heaven and Earth Designs:

As you can see, the left side is completely finished!  I just have the bottom right left to stitch, and the lace on her gloves and top (which I have been avoiding, cause it has SO much graffiti!  But the effect is gorgeous, so worth it!).


I hope I will be able to finish her before end of August so that I can send it in to HAED!

Here is what she looked like during my last WIP update:

It looks so much better with the bottom left completed!
OMG!  Can't wait to finish this!  It is going to look so AMAZING!!!



Hugs,

Scarlet Lips WIP Update

I'm sorry I haven't posted anything in a while.  From October to December 2012 my arm took a turn for the worse and I couldn't stitch at all!  But with new meds, I am feeling better.  In the month of January 2013 I started stitching again, and decided to continue on CCK's "Scarlet Lips" from Heaven and Earth Designs.  I wanted to get quite a bit of it done before I posted an update pic.  Here she is with all first 3 pages done, and most of pages 4 to 6 and some of 7 to 9"

I am so happy with her so far!  She is stitching up so nicely!  Here is a further shot of her on my Huge Fluffy Heart-shaped pillow.  I find she looks like a painting from far!

So pretty!  Now mostly I have her tail and tail fin and a bit more of background to stitch.
That heart pillow is so soft and fluffy, that my cat won't leave it alone!  He keeps kneading it, then going to sleep on it for hours! :)



My last update on "Scarlet Lips" was a year ago, and this is what she looked like:

So you see I stitched quite a bit of her in the month of January 2013!  I can't believe I hadn't done any stitching on her in over a year!  I will be putting her aside again and work on other stuff...

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
