Blackwork project!
Ever since I learned about blackwork, I've been intrigued, overwhelmed, and constantly reminded of the fill style palettes from old drawing software.
I have finally found the perfect image for my blackwork project, an old MacPaint screen shot!
I probably won't have a lot of free time anymore now that school has started... but this one will definitely be sitting impatiently in my brain. I'll post WIP's when I start on it

Re: Blackwork project!
I agree. Blackwork's really nice and quite fun to do, and I like the subject matter you've chosen - should be good!starrley wrote:What an interesting idea! I love blackwork. I'm excited to see this project take shape.

Re: Blackwork project!
Yay! I love blackwork.
And I love that blackwork doesn't have to be in black. Do you have plans for color? Or are you going with just black?

Re: Blackwork project!
I've thought about it, but for this one I'm going to go with all black to keep it authentic with the original Mac. I am so excited to get started on this one.. i've sketched out a few ideas but i have to finish the neverending backstitching on my Summer Music kit first >_<m4pl3g1rl wrote:Yay! I love blackwork.

Re: Blackwork project!
Ok, the time is near! It took 8-10 hours, but I finally finished the pattern for this. Normal people probably don't draw out full patterns for blackwork, but since it's my first one, and I needed to turn a pixel image into lines, I decided it would be worth the effort. I plan to start it when I finish my charity quilt square, which should be in the next couple of days!
