longest 36 hours ever

I've gone all summer (July) without a scrap bit of news (blogging)!
Aww... don't be that girl

Sometime you've just got to break for your own birthday.
So... on to the current project. (Well, it's finished now)

Needlepoint Canvas Template Painting (it's a mouthful)

After 24 cumulative hours of work I'd done a lot of layout and planning..




and I'd gotten this far with the paint...



And then I was sent back to the drawing board to add a whole lot more stuff.. I didn't take progress pictures. I was too focused on painting ...stuff. My nose was stationed no more than 5 inches from the canvas the whole time (apart from the times I paused to take a step back and make sure it was turning out ok). Not the most enjoyable job but I definitely learned alot. He's a couple close up shots and the finished product. Enjoy.

And my final result is the longest 36 hours of my life......... (but as long as my client is satisfied)
It's definitely "crowded" as requested. I'm waiting for feedback....
