chaising the sun :D




Chegou o meu mês preferido! (☀‿☀)
E para começar com coisas bonitas, tenho uma foto do inicio do quadrinho do Pooh, lembram-se de 'Rainbow Days'? O nome já diz por onde comecei...



... pelo arco-íris claro :D hehehe
Recordam-se da minha dúvida para bordar este esquema? O gráfico indica apenas 1 fio para bordar tudo, tanto o preenchimento como o contorno, o que não é muito habitual. Estranhei mas fiquei mais confiante com o feedback que recebi, especialmente da Lesley e da Valérie - concordo convosco, acho que o efeito aqui é mesmo um tom suave de aguarela :) Fiz o teste e bordei o que podem ver na foto. Se não o mencionasse, teriam adivinhado que está bordado apenas com 1 fio? Cobre bem a tela, a trama também é bastante pequena (voltei ao Aida 16 em vez da Lugana) e no seu todo ficará bem, o efeito fica ainda mais bonito quando colocado na parede do que visto assim de pertinho ;) Mais progresso para breve! :)

Ainda há mais coisas boas para começar o mês, logo à noite farei o sorteio do giveaway '6 Fat Men', os dois gordinhos estão de malas prontas e à espera de saber o seu destino :D

Feluz Julho para vocês!!! :D

My favorite month has arrived! (☀‿☀)
And to start with pretty things, I have a photo of Pooh's birth sampler start, remember 'Rainbow Days'? The name says where I began... with the raibow, of course :D hehehe

Remember my doubt about this design? The chart calls for one single strand to stitch everything, the main pattern as the backstitch, not very usual. I thought it was strange but I got more confident with the feedback I received, especially from Lesley and Valérie - I agree with you ladies, I think this goes for a nice watercolor effect :) I gave it a try and stitched what you can see in the photo above. If I hadn't mentioned it, would you have guessed it was stitched with only 1 strand? Fabric looks nicely covered, it's quite small too (I'm back to Aida 16 instead of Lugana). I think it will turn out very pretty, the effect is even more beautiful when placed on the wall than seen up close ;)
More progress to come soon! :)

There's more good stuff to start the month in a good cheer, tonight I will draw the '6 Fat Men' giveaway winner, those two chubby guys have their bags packed and are waiting to know their destination :D

Happy July to you!!! :D

  13. Feliz Julho. Estamos em épocas certos, adoro o frio que faz do lado de cá do oceano!
    Se não tivesses citado, não imaginaria que o bordado está feito com um fio apenas! Vai ficar delicado.

  15. great start on this piece =)
    it will be very sweet, and sometimes Aida is very practical (since you don't have half stitches to do =D)
    my Pooh sampler was also in 1 thread as I told you and the result was amazing ! so I'm sure yours will be too =)
    happy stitching

  19. Good start! I'd say it covers very well so I would stick with the one strand.
