Elephants Hug Cross-Stitchby ~Santian69

Artisan Crafts / Needlework / Cross Stitch & Embroidery

\o/ Finally finished! \o/
Again it's the biggest piece I've ever done

Completed after two months and a half of work (rushed in the end, to fit my schedule

)

I'm very happy with how it turned out... although the stitching was not total happiness! (see [link] for the stitching story

)

This is a present for my fiancé's sister. In the next months I'll be making the pieces for her three little boys, all for Christmas... Crazyness 8-D
I made a few mistakes, not really noticeable. For the record, while the right elephant is stitched with two shades of light grey, I made it easier for the left one and stitched only one shade. Tell me if you can see any difference, I'm not seeing any

That's also why the left elephant was much faster to stitch. Hehe.

The framing is not perfect but I like it that way. I hope she'll like it

Pattern :
* 18 count white Aida
* 13 colours (or 12 for that matters)
* Size : about 10,5 x 26 cm
* Kit by Royal Paris called "Les éléphants"
* Black wooden frame with orange paper mat
