Dooone. So many mistakes on this Gyarados, especially with a couple colours. Definitely going to make revisions if/when I ever do another Gyarados.

Together, with American quarter to show size. It's about 9x5".

New project, Ninetales for my boyfriend's brother's birthday. Have to get it done by September 9th. Progress during day 3 of stitching:

Chugging along. Bought a frame for it for when it's done - dollar stores are awesome. My kitten got into my bobbin of DMC830 (the brown outline colour) and chewed off about a 3' length of it... argh. Also I'm ridiculously ADD when it comes to working on projects like this. I do random parts everywhere before anything is finished...

Finished!

Frame is 4x6", finished stitch is 3.6"x3.6". Might put an insert behind it, It's kinda see-through-ish... hm. Surprisingly few errors in this one.

Next up is Ivysaur for a friend, I think.

Thanks for the encouragement!

Sorry for lack of updates, been playing GW2 instead of stitching, and a WIP Ivysaur looks like nothing at all. Kinda worried about the vivid blue PCStitch chose for this, but hopefully it'll look alright once it's finished. Completed stitch will be 3x3.5".

I always thought the Bulbasaur line seemed better with bluer bodies than with greener bodies - especially since it makes the shiny variety stand out more. :nod
