    Trixie Portrait

    I was inspired to make a needlework portrait of Trixie

    Here's the photo I referenced:


    The finished needlework:


    The back (for those who want to see the back of someone's work )


    It took me a month to design and stitch. Thanks sana for inspiring me!

    WOW! That is amazing! So close to the picture! I am so jealous. I can cross stitch, but I certainly can't create something like that from a picture! WOOOOOWWWWW! Great work Catnapper!

    You are very talented - that would have taken me a year, at least!

    Thanks for sharing - Trixie sure is beautiful

    Yes, what Pat said!

    Be sure to add your signature (name, initials, something) and date it. You can have it mounted and framed -- non glare glass is best. WOW what a unique treasure!

    Wow!!! That is so beautiful and, yes, the back is soooo neat!!
    I'd definitely have it framed!

    My grandma taught me how to cross stitch and I haven't done it for years but after seen your beautiful work I'm starting to consider it again...

    Congrats!
