My contribution for the January stitchalong. It’s based on a bridal pattern in CrossStitcher and was adapted to resemble is. It’s stitched on 28 count lime green linen and framed in 4 inch hoops. The hoops were painted using an acrylic paint marker. Hadn’t worked with those before but it’s ideal to paint a hoop: easy to work with and almost instantly dry. This is two layers of paint.
Well we have noses in real life but there’s certainly a resemblance. I have very fine hair so the messy bun is what I look like most days. Mr Imma has very tight curls so he looks like this in the morning after a shower, and then during the day his curls will start to bounce back into shape until they are standing almost upright. I tried to capture the texture of his hair but it’s impossible in cross stitch. The colours roughly match too - he’s auburn and I’m blonde and we’re both very pale, typical north Europeans.

ha ha well, it is the general likeness and I think you captured it!
These are so cool; love the style of them! They remind me of those pairs of portraits that couples would have painted in the 1800s… but obviously with a colorful and modern twist.

Both are perfect I think, cute and well stitched
