Lots and lots and lots of cross stitching in the past week in order to get my Benedict Cumberbatch pattern finished! Loved the pattern in last month’s issue of Cross Stitch Crazy, and I’m a fan of some of his stuff, so I set out to try and finish it in under 2 weeks. Did it in 10 days which I am proper chuffed about! Posted the finished image of it to the magazine’s Facebook page, and they emailed me saying that they would put it into the upcoming issue! So proud!
You can check out the progress of that piece on my cross-stitch blog “Betty Baileys”: http://bettybaileys.wordpress.com/
Also got asked to do a few commissions from several peers this week, which has really given me a boost! My PayPal account is looking quite beefy now, haha! So, with those in mind, I decided to get a bit of footage whilst I was working on one of them (doing the outlining).
Decided to be a bit self-indulgent as well, and create some original character art. It was nice to take a break from Uni work for a bit just so I could do something a bit different! Plus, I need to get the practice in on so many aspects of facial design and so on. I’m not too brilliant at drawing a face in profile with out a little bit of photo reference for help!
