This is another project that will be part of a more intense miniature project. The pattern is from Night Spirit Studio. It was originally intended as a mini using 14ct aida. In order to make it fit frames I already had, I used 28ct.
I also modified the corner details to fit this rectangle and changed up the floss colors to use stash. I did end up buying the metallic purple for the little detail bit, but every other part of the project is from stash.
The frame came from @lady4feet and was PERFECT for this project! It was originally a white resin with some grey details. I painted and gold leafed it with faux gold leaf for a distressed, antique-y look.
Okay, I always love when someone sneaks in a little fur baby pic!
This is so amazing! I can’t believe you are working on things this small. My head would melt. It is absolutely amazing. Love the little touch of metallic too.
Can’t wait to see where this ends up!
For realz! There are not much over 200 stitches in this and it took 3-4 days, because I could only work on it a little at a time, even though I could work on it through the magnifying lamp.
Ah, no. This frame doesn’t have the little lip for inserting a backer - it was designed as an embellishment and is just flat. Sooooo, I cut a piece of cardstock just a smidge smaller than the outside measurements and then cut the evenweave just a smidgen smaller than the cardstock and glued it to the cardstock. Then glued the whole thing to the back of the frame.
Hmmmmm. What do you think I would lose first: my eyesight or my mind?
Honestly, if you did all the prep work FIRST, I think it could happen (pull the floss, cut the fabric, print the patterns). And used it as an ongoing project, it wouldn’t be so bad. They are very wee.
So tiny and adorable! I LOVE the gold frame with it. I can’t imagine working that small. I would probably need a microscope, not a magnifying glass to work that tiny.
